Al Qarafa, City of the Dead, and its emergence in the global megalopolis of Cairo. The transformation of the monumental cemetery into a slum has produced notable contradictions in urban planning and governance policies. The inhabitants and the ancient architecture, respectively the immaterial and material patrimony of this cemetery, represent parts of a multi-layered problem that shows no alternative solutions to destruction.
Keywords: Informal living; disputed space; urban policies
