A project that was postponed for years, and when they worked on Sadat, there was no result because it was planned incorrectly and the work of Sadat City was at the end of the world.. And the project did not produce results.. How did Sisi think about the New Administrative Capital project, and how did the project succeed and remain the beginning of a new, modern, and stable republic.. In this video, you will know the details, stay tuned. With us until the end.
The New Administrative Capital Project, no matter what we say about it, will not be equal to the event or the scale of the achievement, because it is one of the largest urban projects undertaken in the modern history of Egypt. Its idea came from the congestion of Cairo and the suffocation in the streets. Sisi also thought of a way that would make people think differently and with hope in it. Tomorrow, Egypt will be able to remain like any modern country with global, smart buildings and cities like what they see in Europe. At the same time, it will establish a new phase in the history of Egyptian architecture, stimulate the idea of exporting real estate, demonstrate new capabilities in the Egyptian economy, and also nationalize international brands and companies. Hence, Sisi decided to In 2015, a few months after assuming power, he began and announced the New Administrative Capital project.
Of course, the project, because it was new, very ambitious, and unprecedentedly huge, was an opportunity for evil platforms to attack it and say, “What is necessary for a project that will cost billions and will be implemented in the distant desert?” But because Sisi has far-sightedness, he did not listen to these nonsense and actually presented the project. Since then, Egypt’s thinking changed and it broke into the world of international and modern architecture and created. New communities and the desert offered billions of dollars after every meter of land in the Administrative Capital became a grocery store, after it had been desert and waste. The surprise remains that the state spent a red penny from its pocket on the project, as the president confirmed, because the project worked and was financed from the land, but the clothes the companies paid for it to work. The project.
The New Administrative Capital is east of Cairo, about 45 kilometers from central Cairo and extends over an area of up to 700 square kilometers, making it one of the largest new cities in the world.
In addition to the investment vision on which the Administrative Capital project was based, there was another goal for the government, which was to move ministries and government agencies from the heart of Cairo to ease congestion on the one hand, and on the other hand to benefit from these headquarters in other projects. The Administrative Capital includes the headquarters of 34 ministries and government centers, and this will facilitate the development of state administration. It is centrally located and includes 25 residential neighborhoods, ranging from villas to residential apartments, providing multiple services and modern facilities such as schools, hospitals, and public parks, which provides an integrated environment for residents and is not a specialized area for business that includes banks and investment companies. You can say that this is a working financial district. Like Wall Street in America.
The New Administrative Capital project is equipped with a network of smart facilities, such as advanced roads, and it currently has 15 main roads that facilitate movement between the new capital and other cities, and an electric train project that connects the city to different regions, which facilitates transportation.
The total cost of the project is estimated at approximately 300 billion Egyptian pounds, and the project is financed through partnerships between the Egyptian government and local and international companies, which ensures that the project is implemented according to the highest standards and without placing any burden on the state treasury.
Work on the project began in 2015, and the first phase is expected to be completed by 2025. The timeline includes several phases, each focusing on developing a specific part of the city.
The New Administrative Capital project, in its various stages, is scheduled to accommodate between 6.5 and 8 million people, and this is a number equal to the population of our countries. The surprise remains that the New Administrative Capital includes huge industrial zones and has already begun offering land to Egyptian and foreign manufacturers, meaning it is better in every direction than the lands. Those around it and what the capital project gave it life and importance, and we will see other smart cities being built next to the Administrative Capital in order to benefit from its proximity to the most important urban project in Egypt’s modern history after the High Dam.
