Rationale: Why have you selected this case study area?
- Please summarise:- e.g. previous experience, is it your everyday environment?, specific vulnerability, previous research being done etc.
Authors' perspectives
- What theoretical or professional perspective do you bring to the case study?
Landscape and/or urban context
Alexandria lies on the Mediterranean coast in the north central part of Egypt. With a population of about 4.1 million, it is the second-largest city in Egypt. With its northerly coastal boundaries stretching nearly 32 km or 20 mi, Alexandria is considered to be the largest coastal city on the Mediterranean sea. Being the standpoint to Egypt’s largest seaport and natural gas and oil pipelines from the Suez, the city is of great economic importance. The port handles close to 80% of Egypt’s imports and exports. Alexandria is also an attractive tourist destination with its beaches and monuments. Looking at satellite imagery, most of Alexandria is densely built with very few green spaces available. (To be further edited)
