However, you're off by 10 years regarding the sidewalks and, unfortunately, you can't blame this on Nasser or on socialism. The proper example for that would be el makel faisal, mohandessine/3agouza, ...etc. I think Nasr City of the sixties is a great project. Socialist..yes. But organized. It's like East Berlin. Big streets, tram+public transport, built on desert not agricultural land, each cluster of buildings has its own entertainment and services complex, playgrounds for kids,...etc. I am talking about the area behind the CAPMAS and Sonesta. I spent many happy childhood memories there at my aunt's Nasr city apartment :). <br /><br />The bastardization of public spaces started with infita7 IMHO and ran amok with gulf money in the eighties.Mardinixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10682948838173174447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5755659872909540278.post-65772501546197727462011-09-05T02:16:13.416-07:002011-09-05T02:16:13.416-07:00this is hillarious and sad at the same time! gotta...this is hillarious and sad at the same time! gotta share this! :Dthis is hillarious and sad at the same time! gotta share this! :DBassem Sabryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03628421213111191028noreply@blogger.com
