Abstract: Public spaces have witnessed unprecedented circumstances during the Covid-19 crisis. Concepts such as liveability, walkability, and placemaking are being probed to delve into the future roles of public spaces. In Cairo, public spaces earned appreciation during the lockdown, and new space users appeared, engaging in daily needs of socialising and exercising. Through documenting changes in Cairo’s public space policy owing to the pandemic, it was proved that citizens could survive and adapt to the crisis with some spatial policy implications.
