Applications of morphological regionalization in urban conservation: the case of Bulaq Abulela, Cairo

A new approach using morphological regionalization reveals significant historical urban areas in Cairo's Bulaq Abulela quarter that are currently unprotected, challenging existing conservation boundaries. This method, applied to trace the area's morphological transformation, highlights gaps in local protection frameworks and advocates for its integration into future boundary delimitation processes. The findings underscore the need to revise current protection strategies to better safeguard Cairo's historic urban fabric amid rapid urbanization pressures.
