Pedestrianization AL- Azhar Street as a method to preserve the urban fabric of the historic Cairo

Restoring Al-Azhar Street to its original pedestrian promenade could significantly revitalize the urban fabric of Historic Cairo, enhancing accessibility, aesthetics, social dynamics, and economic activities. The study highlights how vehicle roads, such as Al-Azhar Street, constructed in the early 20th century, disrupted the historical area's integrity by dividing streets and altering social and economic functions. By analyzing the impact of pedestrianization on open spaces, the research suggests that reverting to a bustling pedestrian zone could serve residents, artisans, and tourism while preserving Cairo's cultural memory. This approach offers a model for balancing contemporary infrastructure needs with heritage conservation in historically significant urban areas.
