In the course of our teaching routine and landscape architectural research efforts, we studied the Greater Cairo Area. Our academic project included ten days of fieldwork in Egypt and three days of Geodesign workshop activity. The results are embedded in the research project “Changing our Global Infrastructure: An International Geodesign Collaboration (IGC)”. When the workshop group questioned and discussed the sober statistics, numbers, and predictions for Cairo’s incredible growth – in 2050, the megacity will need to house about nineteen million more people than today – a particular momentum of design thinking began to unfurl. We succeeded in putting the limited concept of landscape architecture behind us and experienced a genuine Geodesign act.
