Abstract
This report discusses the architectural heritage of belle epoque Cairo in terms of identity, management and sustainability. It will first set out to define the principles of heritage identity and value and examine how these concepts have evolved at the local and national levels creating a new awareness of the value of Cairo's architecture of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The management of Cairo's belle epoque architecture is then discussed in terms of the principles of sustainable management through analysis of the practical application of policies and supplementary factors which affect conservation approaches and redevelopment strategies. The report expands upon the theme of sustainable management and illustrates how integrated sustainable management strategies can be employed to create long-term solutions to conservation issues associated with Cairo's belle epoque built heritage. This section will be enhanced through analysis of a survey undertaken among local residents and those working in the vicinity of one of Cairo's belle epoque buildings, Sakakini Palace. The aim of the survey was to discover how the local community view heritage and its management and to test the existing management plan against the principles of social sustainability. This research seeks to inform conservation best practice of Cairo's belle epoque architecture, aid in the development of sustainable strategies to safeguard the future of this new heritage and contribute to the wider knowledge of sustainable heritage management. Key words: Heritage, Cairo, Belle Epoque, Sakakini Palace, Sustainable Management.
