Gentrification, as a new domain for research and analysis, is a theoretical process which has debatable impacts. Many researchers may study gentrification process within international cities; however, there are few attempts to identify gentrification indicators. The main goal of the paper is to clarify and identify what is happening in Downtown Cairo nowadays; and to address the complex issue of the gentrification of existing buildings towards their conversion to a modern contemporary use. It focuses as well on the current and former applications in the local Egyptian case on the basis of its particularity. In order to attain this goal, the paper examines the relevance of the gentrification indicators developed by Phillip Clay in 1979, Peter Moskowitz in 2017, and others trying to implement it on Downtown Cairo, in order to recognize the ongoing gentrification procedure, then to consider the possible precautions to control gentrification development, and avert its negative impact while using its positive ones to upgrade the gentrified urban zones. This paper starts by introducing the history of the term gentrification, its advantages and disadvantages; then it also reviews different theoretical approaches outlining its stages. Next, the paper inspects the Egyptian legislations related to conservation, followed by analysis of the Downtown Cairo’s case study firstly through the Egyptian Government ’s project to develop Khedivial Cairo, secondly through the private sector initiatives. This paper ends with an indicator tool which could be applied in Downtown Cairo and heritage zones areas to anticipate in which stage it is gentrified. إن التحسين، يعتبر مجال جديد للبحث والتحليل، وهو عملية نظرية لها تأثيرات نقاش جدالية. قد تم دراسة العديد من الابحاث لعملية التحسين داخل المدن العالمية؛ ومع ذلك، هناك محاولات قليلة لتحديد مؤشرات التحسين. الهدف الرئيسي من هذا البحث هو توضيح والتعرف على ما يحدث في منطقة وسط المدينة في الوقت الحاضر؛ ومعالجة القضية المعقدة المتمثلة في تحسين المباني القائمة وتحويلها إلى استخدام حديث معاصر. ويركز أيضًا على التطبيقات الحالية والسابقة في الحالة المصرية المحلية انطلاقًا من خصوصيتها. ولتحقيق هذا الهدف، تبشير الورقة البحثية الي مدى أهمية مؤشرات التحسين التي وضعها فيليب كلاي عام 1979، وبيتر موسكوفيتش عام 2017، وآخرين يحاولون تنفيذها في وسط القاهرة، من أجل التعرف على إجراء التحسين المستمر، ثم النظر في الاحتياطات الممكنة للسيطرة على تنمية التحسين، وتجنب آثارها السلبية مع استخدام الإيجابيات للارتقاء الاجتماعي في المناطق الحضرية المرموقة. يبدأ هذا البحث بالتعريف بتاريخ مصطلح التحسين، مزاياه وعيوبه؛ ثم يستعرض أيضًا مناهج الحفاظ النظرية المختلفة التي تحدد مراحله. ثم تتناول الورقة التشريعات المصرية المتعلقة بالترميم، يليها تحليل دراسة حالة وسط مدينة القاهرة، أولاً من خلال مشروعات الحكومة المصرية لتطوير القاهرة الخديوية، وثانيًا من خلال مبادرات القطاع الخاص. وتنتهي هذه الورقة بتحديد أداة مؤشريه يمكن تطبيقها في مناطق وسط القاهرة والمناطق التراثية لتوقع المرحلة التي سيتم فيها الارتقاء بها

Cities have been expanding over the years, transforming and evolving with all the new technologies being introduced, and this has affected the layout of the city physically, culturally, and environmentally. In certain regions, such as the Sultanate of Oman, this has resulted in the creation of urban sprawl, abandoning some buildings, neighborhoods, and villages, and losing the urban and architectural qualities that represent the original identity of the place. Research has shown that multiple initiatives by the community have been made to rehabilitate some of those structures. This study aims to examine two case studies in the Sultanate of Oman and show the transformation in the urban and architectural context of the existing structures over the past decade. A combination of qualitative data collection methodology was used, including on-site observations, analysis of primary and secondary data, and interviews with locals experiencing the changes over the years. The results showed that there was a strong interrelation between the desire of living in a high-tech environment and rooting for their origins. Also, the built structures and their uses reflected the awareness of the different generations about the quality of space. Further research would help identify the factors that could create the right balance between a contemporary living quality and the original character of the place.
