xii, 214 pages : illustrations, map ; 24 cm. 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.
