Report In the early days of February 2015 I went to Cairo to conduct expert interviews with several experienced persons on urban development and urban policy in North Africa after the Arab Spring.

Fortunately, due to the help of several colleagues, I was able to meet leading people of the World Bank and UN-Habitat as well as founders and activists of so called bottom-up organisations that tackle urban issues in the overwhelming city of Cairo. I had a really great and productive time in Cairo.
