The area lies south of the prestigious al-Azhar Mosque and the popular Khan al-Khalili, historic Cairo's principal tourist bazaar, and is bound by al-Azhar Street, the Darassa Hills and al-Darb al-Ahmar Street. Today, the area is the focus of much public interest, and is on the verge of major changes induced by a number of large-scale projects, including the recent completion of the Azhar Street tunnel, the planned pedestrian square between al-Azhar and al-Hussein, the development of new parking and commercial facilities on the 'Urban Plaza' site, and, lastly, the creation of the new Azhar Park on top of the Darassa Hills, a strategic location between the Fatimid city, the Mamluk cemeteries and the ...

It will also review the gradual extension of these ideas to the conservation of landscapes and to the concept of intangible heritage, with its implications for the continuity of social and cultural traditions. The article will advocate that conservation planning has a relevance that goes beyond its limited application to historic contexts, and that it can make essential contributions to the general planning of our cities.
