ABSTRACT
Remaking Bulaq required integration between several effective realms, namely, the social domain, the physical domain and the political domain. One of the core elements of successful planning is the individuals' experience of their streets and shared open spaces. In the frame of the state's plan for developing the informal areas, its various agents and bodies have violated people's right to housing and congruent rights by using types of forced eviction that have resulted in dispersal of many poor citizens. Mixed land use in Bulaq is an additional attribute of the traditional character of Cairo, which was historically constructed through time and space. A progressive framework for successful planning in Cairo suggests establishing a connection between actual capabilities in terms of the city's urban challenges and the discourse of planning education. One of the major actions of the modern movement and new urbanism was to regenerate ideas related to social and cultural behaviours by rebuilding cities according to new design principles.
