Fall 2015 seminar: B.S. candidate, city and regional planning
Ehab Ebeid is a second-year student studying urban and regional studies. A native of Giza, Egypt, he has also lived and studied in Montreal and Hong Kong. Ebeid is interested in contemporary downtown Cairo, in the persistence of a ‘Paris along the Nile’ or 'Paris of the East' trope, and a narrative of social decline constructed around this colonial district. These, in turn, inform the quarter’s ongoing restoration efforts and nascent artistic scene.
