Safe and Sound is a MISTI funded research collaboration between researchers from MIT's Displacement Research and Action network and their counterparts within Cairo University and the American University in Cairo (AUC). The project explores the longstanding problem of informality, unsafe housing, and potential displacement in Cairo. The project will allow for faculty and students to come together with experienced Egyptian practitioners, academics and government officials to discuss various topics such as the ongoing efforts of slum eradication, visions of urban change in a post revolution Egypt, and the impact of the Syrian refugee crisis on housing, informality, and internal displacement.
