Housing Minister: Egypt has seen a major shift in its urban development map

Egypt ·

The minister said Egypt's urban development has changed markedly in recent years, through expanding new cities, upgrading existing areas and building housing projects at different levels. She also pointed to improvements in utility networks and basic infrastructure.

Egypt has built a series of new towns in the desert since the early 2000s, including the New Administrative Capital east of Cairo, as part of efforts to ease pressure on the Nile Valley.
