Project Brief
El Max Fishermen's Village, El Agamy district, is an area defined by its unique urban pattern. In order to be closer to their work and to protect their possessions, the fishermen of El Agamy built small housing units on the two banks of an agricultural irrigation canal. The fishing boats lie near these houses, ready to set out to sea and every day. Due to years of neglect and government threats of mass displacement, building conditions deteriorated, sanitation levels fell, and economy and education levels declined. Not to mention the severe environmental problems causing a threat to human health. This project helps unfold the true potential that the area possesses, making it not only an urban upgrade for positive social, cultural and economic development, but also a pollution-free, self-sustained, safe and secure community, attracting tourists from all over the world.
