Abstract
Since many urban development projects aim to improve the urban life of
neighbourhoods. Therefore, gentrification is one of the notions which deals
with urban neighbourhoods targeting similar aims. But gentrification does
not develop everywhere the same, it has many different aspects social,
cultural, economic and political. Those aspects define the process of
gentrification and how it develops in urban neighbourhoods. The lack of
knowledge to the notion of gentrification generates a challenging subject,
that needs investigation and research. However, as the role of gentrification
in urban neighbourhoods is vital and essential, the consequences are also
significant. The most significant consequence is displacement; while the
research focus is not to deal with this issue. The focus of the research is to
discover gentrification process in urban neighbourhoods, proof its existence
and create a comprehensive approach to deal with the process. This
approach provides a tool for decision makers first; to expect possible
gentrification location, second; to deal with gentrification in already
gentrified neighbourhoods and third; to maximize gentrification positive
consequences and minimize its negative ones. Thus, the methodology used
both qualitative and quantitative approaches to analyse the gentrification
situation in two old districts of Cairo, Elgamalia and Heliopolis.
Accordingly, the tools and methods used are; documentation, archival records, interviews, sample survey, direct observations, socio-cultural,
economic, political, demographic, housing circumstances, and physical
analysis were used in this research. Meanwhile the conclusions showed that
both case studies witnessed gentrification process differently. In Elgamalia,
gentrification is lead by commercial activities, while in Heliopolis it is more
financial and residential gentrification. In addition, the research achieved its
main objectives, presented in the comprehensive theoretical framework and
the Gentrification Indicators List (GIsL) which will allow decision makers
to deal with the notion of gentrification in urban neighbourhoods in Egypt
that corresponds to the Egyptian context taking into consideration the
cultural and historical differences between Egypt and other countries
