Résumé (en anglais)

Cairo is distinguished by its rich architectural heritage. Deterioration of historic buildings can be attributed to three major factors: 1) lack of public concern for antiquities. 2) The environmental circumstances represented in: accumulated dust, polluted air caused by traffic and industry, inadequate infra-structure system and humidity from subsoil-water and rain. 3) lack of governmental measures such as: multiplicity of State Departments, lodging of inhabitants in historic buildings, using historical buildings for incompatible activities limited resources for restoration
