Relocation and the creation of a global city -- Relocation and the daily use of "modern" spaces -- Old places, new identities -- Gender and the struggle over public spaces -- Religion in a global era -- Roads to prosperity. In an effort to restyle Cairo into a global capital, the Egyptian government relocated residents to public housing on the outskirts of the city. This study explores how these displaced residents have dealt with the stigma of public housing, the loss of their established community networks, and the diversity of the population in the location.
