• Resumen

  • Urban rooftops in the Egyptian built environment are a clear example of a massively wasted re-source. They can contribute to energy and food production as well as increase the return on in-vestment in the real estate sector by implementing Agri and PV rooftop systems. The paper aims at tapping into the unexplored case of multi-unit residential buildings of Cairo to assess the Agri and PV systems’ applicability on their rooftops. For this purpose, it conducts a spatial analysis for one of the Cairene middle-income districts; Nasr city. Overlaying multiple layers of applicability aspects derives a conclusion about the percentage of applicable rooftops for Agri versus PV systems in the district’s different blocks typologies.
