摘要

本文探讨了位于开罗市中心的 Azbakeya 的城市转型。目前，阿兹巴基耶被认定为高架桥和隧道交汇处的灰色交通枢纽，是城市变迁的关键催化剂，在沙漠城市的独特背景下体现了蓝色和绿色基础设施的历史影响。阿兹巴基亚是一个令人信服的案例研究，展示了这座城市历史上的相关变化：从一个与城市运河和池塘密不可分的巨大泻湖发展到干涸，再到仿照巴黎最好的公园建成一个绿色中心，直至因城市机动化而衰败。开罗将重新扮演大都市基石的角色，这项研究为开罗这一特殊区域的现在和未来提供了信息，强调了中心节点在未来更可持续、更具包容性和绿意盎然的大都市中的重要意义。

Reshaping Azbakeya in Central Cairo: A Treasure of Green Threatened by Harsh Gray Infrastructure

This article explores the urban transformation of Azbakeya in the heart of Central Cairo. Currently identified as a gray transportation hub at the confluence of viaducts and tunnels, it has been a key catalyst for the city’s changes, encapsulating the historical impact of both blue and green infrastructure in the unique context of a desert city. Azbakeya serves as a compelling case study, showcasing relevant shifts in the city’s history: evolving from a formidable lagoon integral to the city’s canals and ponds to its desiccation, emerging to a green center that would be modeled after the finest Parisian parks, just before its decay due to the city’s motorization. Set to reclaim its role as a metropolitan cornerstone, the research informs the present and future of this special piece in Cairo, emphasizing the significance of central nodes in the future of more sustainable, inclusive, and verdant metropolises.

期刊介绍： The editors of Journal of Urban History are receptive to varied methodologies and are concerned about the history of cities and urban societies in all periods of human history and in all geographical areas of the world. The editors seek material that is analytical or interpretive rather than purely descriptive, but special attention will be given to articles offering important new insights or interpretations; utilizing new research techniques or methodologies; comparing urban societies over space and/or time; evaluating the urban historiography of varied areas of the world; singling out the unexplored but promising dimensions of the urban past for future researchers.
