Historic Markets are valued for their significance, as tangible heritage and economic hubs, and their cultural and social roles. These valuable buildings and spaces foster community interaction, contribute to place attachment, maintain and reflect, strong socio-cultural values. However, Historic retail structures have faced significant physical and non-physical transformations, and many are currently at risk. In response, a Workshop led by Cairo University and Bauhaus University, Weimar, aims to jointly explore, share knowledge, and raise awareness, regarding the challenges confronting Historic Markets and retail structures in Cairo, Egypt. The workshop will take place 20-27 November 2024.
