Spatial Structure Analysis of Historic Cairo and the Integrated Development of a Map- and Streetscape-Data Archive
ID: jrp000319
KeywordCairo; urban morphological analysis; networks; maps; archives
This project analyzes Historic Cairo’s spatial structure using GIS and Space Syntax, integrating historical maps with landscape records. By vectorizing early 20th-century maps (1:500 and 1:1000), we enable diachronic comparisons of urban form. Our workflow digitizes earlier, non-georeferenced maps while preserving historical context and correcting geometric distortions. Cross-referencing cartographic data with textual and visual sources, we identify gaps between representation and lived perception. Finally, these heterogeneous datasets will be integrated into sustainable, IIIF-compliant online resources, ensuring interoperability with partner archives through continuous streetscape documentation.
