In
this pilot phase of the project we are exploring ways to combine and analyze
two spatial data sets. The first a set of highly detailed maps of
Cairo made in the 1920s by the British and the second a satellite image
made by the Russians in 1998. Initially we are limiting our scope
to the Zamalek section of Cairo, developed as an upper class suburb in
the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is still an elite section of
the city today. To view a text description, in Word format, of the
