Texte intégral
1The original idea for this book arose after a March 2022 conference entitled Facing climate change: Making the city sustainable, organized by CEDEJ and the Institut Français d’Égypte together with the Egyptian office of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES). We thank all conference participants and contributors to this volume for putting together their chapters in such a short time. We also pay a very special tribute to our friend, Holger Gladys, an associate professor of urban design at the German University of Cairo, who passed away this summer. We hope that his dedication to environmental design and urbanism will diffuse broadly.
2The conference brought together thirty scholars and practitioners from the region and opened passionate exchanges with insightful thoughts and works about this delicate issue. It also highlighted meaningful solutions from urbanists, architects and sociologists working in the field of climate change and urbanism from the MENA region, Asia, Africa and Europe. The conference laid the foundation for an intellectual discourse and knowledge exchange based on local experiences from the cities presented as case studies. The FES Egypt office also trained young professionals through its Urban Lab Camp project, which touched on core issues of urban justice with a focus on mobility and transportation in cities.
3We want to thank the Institut Français d’Égypte for its support during this joint conference and in particular David Reignier, Adrien Cluzet and Hany Hanna, a collaboration that started with the 2020 Sustainable Cities conference organized with David Ruffel. We are grateful to Richard Probst, director of FES Egypt for his support these three years. This project is also a way to pursue the exchanges we started during the events undertaken by the Network for Urban Studies in Egypt (NUSE) and the events that took place within the framework of the Cairo Environment and Social Policies Seminar Series, through which we familiarized ourselves with urbanization and climate change issues. We would like to warmly thank Inès Anwar, Marie Vannetzel, Mehdi Labzaé, Omar al Tawansy and Ayda Yakout for their commitment at an earlier stage of the project and Pascal Menoret, the new director of CEDEJ, for his enthusiasm about this project and his wise revisions of some of these texts.
4This book would never have come into existence without the full commitment of CEDEJ and the FES team or the financial support of France’s National Institute for Social and Human Sciences (CNRS). We must pay tribute to the preliminary investigations by Noémie Knoerr, Anouck Guillou and Jeanne Gorin. The book would also not have been published without the daily support of three fantastic professionals – Fatiha Bouzidi, Marieke Krijnen and Taylor McConnell. Finally, we have benefitted from many discussions with the large experts community in the Middle East and elsewhere, that made our visions hopefully clearer. We hope that this is present in the contents of this volume.
