The Cairo Garbage City as a Self-Sufficient “Inner City”
The informal Garbage City founded by the Christian minority of Copts, who recycle waste, as a spatially and culturally separated “inner city” is an architectural phenomenon of contemporary urbanised spaces. The strong division into the sacrum zone, with churches carved in the rock, and the worker’s profanum zone filled with perfectly sorted rubbish, determines the spatial separation, but also the cultural symbiosis between them.
