Greetings Y’all,
During the last Edgeryders’ meeting in Cairo last Saturday, the idea of founding an Egyptian REEF came up, and possible locations were further studied in this Thread.
Today, I came across a Facebook event which I thought might hold some potential for projects that could be implemented in our beautifully congested Cairo. It revolves around sustainability and going eco-friendly, you can check it out here.
Such workshop might help the EGyptian REEF achieve some degree of self-sustainability by growing its own crops for food, plants for purification, and might even help in bringing in small profits to ensure the REEF’s continuity. Such model could then be applied to the whole building, street, district turning the REEF into a prototype which can be repeated in other places creating mini hubs. I think this could help put Edgeryders on the Egyptian Urban Innitiatives Map.
I will keep posting findings like this one once I stumble across them, and until then, please let me know if you have any more ideas.
All the best,
Mohab
