Builders of egypt release date 20216/12/2023 ![]() ![]() The proposed builder of the city was Capital City Partners, a private real estate investment firm led by Emirati businessman Mohamed Alabbar. When the project was officially announced in March 2015, it was revealed that the Egyptian military had already begun building a road from Cairo to the site of the future capital. įeedback on former experiences of capital relocation was looked at, for instance by meeting with representatives from Astana, which replaced Almaty as the capital city of Kazakhstan in 1997. It is planned to cost over US$100 million to move the government from Cairo to NAC but a full cost and timeline for the overall project has not yet been revealed. As of 5 May, 2023, 14 ministries and government entities have relocated to the New Administrative Capital. It was originally planned that parliament, presidential palaces, government ministries and foreign embassies would be moved into the city between 20 but due to construction delays and COVID-19 the move of over 30,000 government employees was delayed to March 2023. It is being built as a smart city with over 6,000 cameras monitoring the streets and along with this authorities will be using AI to monitor water use and waste management, and residents will be able to submit complaints into a mobile app. Some amenities planned for the city are a central park, artificial lakes, around 2,000 educational institutions, technology and innovation park, 18 hospitals, 1,250 mosques and churches, a 93,440-seat stadium, 40,000 hotel rooms, a major theme park four times the size of Disneyland, 90 square kilometers of solar energy farms and electric railway link with Cairo. The NAC is planned to be built in stages across the space of 170,000 feddans (714 km 2/ 270 sq mi) with Phase 1 (2016 - ), covering over 40,000 feddans - less than a quarter of the land allocated for the city. ![]() The city is planned to consist of a government administrative district, a diplomatic quarter, a cultural district (opera and theatres), a central business district (CBD), parks (the 'green river'), and 21 residential districts. ![]() Cairo has a metro population of nearly 20 million. Officially, a major reason for the undertaking of the project was to relieve congestion in Cairo, which is already one of the world's most crowded cities, with the population of Greater Cairo expected to double in the next few decades. On 700 square kilometres (270 sq mi) total area, it would have a population of 6.5 million people, though it is estimated that the figure could rise to seven million. According to the plans, the city will become the new administrative and financial capital of Egypt, housing the main government departments and ministries and foreign embassies. The new city is to be located 45 kilometres (28 miles) east of Cairo and just outside the Second Greater Cairo Ring Road, in a largely undeveloped area halfway to the seaport city of Suez. In October 2021, transportation minister Kamel al-Wazir indicated the city might be named Egypt. No official results have yet been announced by the Egyptian Government. A jury of specialists was formed to evaluate the proposals submitted to list and determine the best among all the proposals. A competition was launched on the new capital's website to choose a new name and logo for the city. The new capital of Egypt has yet to be given a name. The capital city is considered one of the projects for economic development, and is part of a larger initiative called Egypt Vision 2030. It was announced by the then Egyptian housing minister Mostafa Madbouly at the Egypt Economic Development Conference on 13 March 2015. It is planned to be Egypt's new capital and has been under construction since 2015. The New Administrative Capital ( NAC) ( Arabic: العاصمة الإدارية الجديدة, romanized: al-ʿĀṣima al-ʾIdārīya al-Gadīda) is a new urban community in Cairo Governorate, Egypt and a satellite of Cairo City.
