Summary
Historic Cairo's Orman Garden, established in 1873, has undergone significant identity transformation due to socio-economic forces, as revealed by a study spanning from 1873 to 2019. The research, utilizing historical analysis, field surveys, and interviews with stakeholders, identified these forces as the primary drivers behind the garden's evolving identity. While some components of the garden have been subjected to disfiguration, others have evolved to meet new demands. The study concludes with recommendations aimed at conserving and reviving the lost historical identity while embracing current challenges and trends.
