Aga Khan Trust For Culture | Al Azhar Park Inauguration Ceremony | 2005

The #AgaKhan Trust for Culture's #Al-Azhar Park Project is a catalyst for #social, #economic and #culturalrenewal and #improvement and will have far reaching consequences for the 200,000 residents of the neighbouring #DarbAlAhmar district. The 500-year-old #rubbishdump transformed into a much-needed #greenspace for #Cairo - a city with a population of 17 million with one of the lowest ratios of green space to #urban #population in the world - an area the size of a footprint per inhabitant. This video looks at the #inauguration ceremony of the project.
