Reclaiming Forgotten Urban Edges: An Experimental Approach
This project reimagines fragmented urban edges as connected public space. Developed through experimental research at Kelham Island and applied to Manchester’s Northern Quarter, it proposes a transferable toolkit of interventions to activate inactive urban fragments into continuous inhabitable environments.

The project addresses a common daily problem encountered in many cities, proposing an effective and well-conceived solution. The project concept is clearly articulated and successfully translated into the drawings and models. Overall, the work demonstrates a high level of clarity, creativity and professionalism in both its academic content and presentation. At the end, I would like to thank you for your hard work and best of luck with your upcoming projects.
Dear Professor Faragallah, thank you very much for your inspiring feedback and recognition. Creating better habitations and active spaces for people within cities is a topic I am deeply passionate about. It was the central focus throughout my master's research and represents a vital future trend. Your recognition of the clarity and professionalism of my project has given me confidence as I continue exploring urban regeneration directions. I truly appreciate your kind encouragement and warm wishes!
This is a strong and well-structured research-driven proposal that thoughtfully reframes neglected urban edges as active social infrastructure. The connection between site analysis, physical experimentation, the spatial toolkit, and its translation from a microsite to an urban-scale application is particularly convincing. The project demonstrates a clear critical position and a good balance between social, spatial, and temporal considerations. Further empirical evidence of the long-term impact of the proposed interventions would strengthen an already compelling proposition. Overall, a thoughtful, relevant, and professionally presented project.
