Saudi the Egyptian housing Project is one the typical national
Wohnbeschaffungsmassmahmen in the course of the floodflood flood to
Cairo. A complex of multistoried buildings, which were established
within 10 years in simplest building method and to one small,
friendly satelite town with good infrastructure and their own system
to have developed. It has thus fewer with the original colonial
architectural style and the townscape from the colonial age, typical
for Cairo, commonly
Position:

with the name Almarkas Alarbia in the northeast of the city well
with a taxi from the city centre Heliopolis extends the area on a
total area of 109100 m2, planned at that time. That corresponds to a
scope of approx. 330 m to 330 m. this is today already a multiple.
Based on the space scarceness in Cairo a considerable surface.

Due to this
space scarceness and the population explosion in the densely
populated area Cairo in the 70's strengthens the above ground
construction way taken up. Grey in grey, Cairo a tristes
townscape, which is coined/shaped by the idea of socialism,
lends. Approximately 10,000 inhabitants live in the roomy and
well divided a GET around and flat lets for rent. |

The
sanitary mechanisms into partial over 100 m2 dwellings are
frequently doubly available. Up to 3 house elevators, which are not
admittedly always in operation, often ensure for a smooth feed
between up to 14 floors. The failure is probably connected with a
current disconnection, since at the same time awkward-proves also
the lights under house way, which provide for a smooth descent, did
not function. The total status of the entire project appeared to me
however partly a little keep-drawn and it seemed to me as if the
project was placed since the establishment now on itself alone. This
impression comes not least from breaks in the brick-work and
crumbled finery, but also the safety aspects, like maintenance of
the elevators, appeared to me the coincidence left. As example also
planning is here mentioned for the establishment of a purchase
center. Unfortunately it came at that time only to the building of
the garage, which carries until today only a virtual loading level.
Between the geometrically linear established buildings for loosening
between the houses small gardens were created, which serve the
relaxation and recovery of the large city jungle. These surfaces are
amazing clean and in change in turn by the co-inhabitants are
voluntarily cleaned and guarded. So also the passenger cars of the
adjacents resident. After the slogan everyone helps everyone
passenger car against a small payment by ladies in the early morning
hours is usually deseamed and by parkwaechtern guarded in the
evening.
Infrastructure direct beside the block of flats strassenbahnschienen
run, so that the binding is secured alternatively to the center by
streetcar, taxi or bus in each case.
 
But
the course into the city is unnecessary for most purchases, since
this small city has a multiplicity of loading and mechanisms. It is
the general store next door, the hone since dealer around the corner
or the beans (Fool) salesman on the road, which in the morning lures
the purchase baskets from the windows with its calls and which sales
takes place over a cable system.

To
provide the building of the project began and ended targets and
target audience of the project with the target a part of the kairoer
central layer an accommodation 1980 1990. Now would be still
explains, what generally means central layer in Egypt, if one
regards the income distribution and the associated poverty and
unemployment of the country. Thus I did not know at first so quite,
which I should begin with this term. One can already infer from
these remarks that this is not to be equated with the German term.
In Egypt generally, itself the set of the " education " is to be
determined in Cairo moved. In addition, here all cannot read and
write. And even if this like that were, no relation between supply
and demand insists on the job market. Apart from this demand
overhang there are those lucky, those over a regulated income orders
as for example a well situierter civil servant.
Most however attend or to two further activities, there for example
a teacher content of approximately 80. - DM / month would not
possibly be sufficient. Exactly these families form the central
layer and the target group of the project. Around this to clarify
one can throw a view of the rents, which are also situated between
500 LE and 1000 LE in the upper area. This corresponds for instance
to a value from 375 DM to 750 DM. For the purchase of a free-hold
flat one must reach already more deeply into the bag and count on up
to 225.000 DM. There are such projects from this building contractor
altogether 3 in Cairo. Saudi Egyptian housing Project, the Madini of
wet Project and the Maadi the Heliopolice Project.
