RSA Annual Conference held at London, UK, on 24th –25th November 2016 NEW PRESSURES ON CITIES AND REGIONS 1 Internal Displacement as a Silent Crisis: Managing Urban Chaos and Hardship—Back to the Order Hisham M. G. Abusaada Professor of architecture and urban design Housing & Building National Research Center, Cairo, Egypt Abstract There has been a turning point in both urban morphology and typological features of architecture that have followed changes in urban lifestyles. These transformations in the urban realm have emerged as a result of the silent and non- observable processes of the constant movements from inside and outside the city, and it leads to apparent urban chaos and hardship. The article asks what it means to manage the urban chaos in the cities of the hardship. Individual or group displacements (internally displaced person) are no only made up of people from the country regions but also from inside the cities themselves; these are the individuals who live in informal settlements, traditional realms that are underdeveloped economically and technically, and the marginalized primitive regions. All this transformation and contradiction in urban styles leads to urban chaos. Moreover, this chaos may also be a result of shortcomings in the practice of architects, their education, or the application of urban legislation. This article focuses on the process of pathological architectural chaos as a basis to prevent hardships of living by using the guidelines of the professional practice of the art of the city discipline. This work concludes to that most of the current urban architecture needs: 1) A new theory to explore the chaos in the cities and regions, it leads to what might be called ‘back to the order theory.’ 2) Action plans perceive the interrelationships between everyday newcomers to the city and the nature of this city in its per se, which has a distinctiveness essence.

Community Dialogue Concerning internally displaced person (IDPs)— whether from city residents themselves or the newcomers from inside or outside the city, there is a misconception among the city residents; (IDPs) Leads to urban chaos in the public realm. Sequentially, it creates a silent crisis that leads to what might be called ‘the cities of the hardship.’ This viewpoint is entirely wrong because it is based on the thinking or misconception about the nature of the city. Arguably, people should develop their understanding of the nature of the city to accommodate themselves according to its nature. Cities are integrated entities that have evolved over time by cooperating with others but do not change with the modification of its residents or visitors to provide a better living. City residents and visitors as users of the city have the same rights, taking into account whichever respective city granted them according to its self-culture, not according to the knowledge of its residents and visitors. There is an interactive relationship between the people and the city. This relationship between them is fateful; both of them try to change the other. Thus, it is not needed to make
