Summary
A novel framework for managing building waste from the restoration of historic Cairo has been developed, addressing critical gaps in current practices. The study identifies key factors influencing material waste and proposes sustainable indicators to assess waste management effectiveness. Through a multi-method approach—including literature review, case studies, expert surveys, and data synthesis—the research highlights the urgent need to address the ignorance and obsolescence of historic buildings while improving waste management systems. This framework offers a creative solution that enhances knowledge in the field, providing a practical model for preserving historic Cairo's architectural heritage.
