Problems
The problems facing Cairo are the same as elsewhere. No new story is being told, just different characters.
Most issues have to deal with the traditioanl city and the high rise growth along the nile. Expansion along the nile has even spread to the otherside and is slowly becoming a "walled river"
As Cairo gows, the rich leave the traditioanl city and the pouror peaseants move into the inner city. This cycle keeps going creating worse and worse conditions within the city. The city also can't keep growing forever. There are two natural borders to Cairo. To the west are the pyrimids and to the east are the musotthhills. People keep moving in so the density rises.
