Abstract

Since seizing power in a 2013 military coup, the regime of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has imposed a form of militarized governance in Egypt. The military controls much of the economy, while tightening domestic security to suppress dissent and prevent a recurrence of street protests. In an effort to stamp out lingering public support for (and emotional attachment to) the 2011 revolution, the state has pursued urban restructuring in Cairo, razing working-class districts and relocating their inhabitants—as it builds a new capital outside the city, at a safe remove from the population.
