Egypt’s new capital project reminds me of Brazil’s Brasilia megaproject and Nigeria’s Abuja masterplan. If done right, it has the potential to be a great success, but it could also be a catastrophic failure. Only time will tell.

[@Rudy-ec1er]

A lot depends on if people feel safe on the streets and not cut off by giant 6 lane roads all the time. Walkability and streetscaping is important. As well as transit.

[@myiLLmind]

how did brazil's go?

[@dedk0]

​@@myiLLmind Brasília construction went with many problems, the government took a massive debt, but it was done just in time. Today the city grew so much for its original plan. Also the city seems to be struggling in developing its own personality. There are no cultural references and all landmarks are government buildings or obelisks. Many of their habitants just work on weekdays and take a plane in the weekend to enjoy their hometowns. The central places are too expensive so only government workers can afford since the city's economy relies on services to these rich government employees. Because of that, the poor is relegated to satellite cities, many of which are shanty towns in Brasilia's vicinities. But the main consequence was to empty Rio de Janeiro's economy, which used to be the old capital. Rio is struggling with economic and social issues since then, which led to higher crime rates as you've probably seen in the news. By the way, I think that's the most valuable lesson Cairo can take out of Brazil's case. They must have a transition plan so they can keep their finances in check.

Egypt has a huge young population, and Egyptians are very smart. The problem is that many have left the country, however many are also coming back with their added know-how and resources. Much of the infrastructure to support such projects are built by the military (for ex. the Suez Canal expansion, bridges and highways), basically it is very low cost labor, as all Egyptians must serve for 1 or 2 years in the military.

I live just 20km from what will be the New Capital, but never went there to see the construction, which I am told is massive. A new airport is also planned. Egypt has a huge advantage in that they can just build into the desert, without taking anybody’s land. New Cairo, between Old Cairo and the New Capital, is already impressive by itself, but badly planned for transportation. They are fixing it now.

[@نادينالهواري]

I live near it too

[@Quickshot0]

Well until not so long ago, making use of the desert on such a scale would have been unthinkable as well. The cost of infrastructure just to make it livable would have been prohibitive. So I guess it's a case of now finally being able to make more use of formerly mostly unusable lands. Meaning Egypt now has a lot more land it can consider uses for... well if they're willing and able to pay the enormous upfront costs of course. Which they might if population keeps increasing, Nile area can only house so many. Though on an idle side thought, I couldn't help but notice they placed the new Capital area as an extension of Cairo almost really. So if that one also ended filled up due to population growth, would one then just go even further East and build yet a new city segment all the way to the Red Sea? Would be kind of epic at least, but perhaps also not thus the most practical solution... Though I guess it would get you a good new port area on the Red Sea, hmm.

[@caserasera4776]

Its silly not to pour the money into infrastructure upgrades for the current capital and expanding cairos outskirts itself. The problem with egyptians is they still think they are ancient egyptian whom build pyramids when in fact, you cant even solve traffic issues.

[@koantao8321]

Worth mentioning, but in itself just a curiosity, the Guinness record for the widest suspension bridge in the world over the river Nile, which allows through traffic away from downtown.

The Aswan dam was built in the 1960s not the 1950s and most importantly how to get to Mombasa Kenya from Egypt as far as geography goes you can't 😂😂

$58BN is cheap. Must be all that cheap labor

[@jpeg2753]

true we have pretty cheap labor and experienced and skilled work force, similar to china in the 80s, your average engineer gets paid around 7000 pounds to 13k pounds monthly thats 350 to 650 dollar monthly

[@Monsterpala]

surely no mega project ever was miscalculated. That even china is pulling out means nothing good. they are masters in investing in uncertain real estate so if they back out... But egeypt shouldn t worry they just need to find oil and they can finance this massive project.

[@j.s.1700]

$58BN is only the phirst phase, first of all; yes there is cheap labor, second(as is said) it’s only the first phase and the budget is already exceeding...

For all the people who says why they don't improve the old City? I'm an Egyptian citzen living in one of the most congested and crowded city on this planet - it's nearly impossible to strip all the old inefficient infrastructure which serving 23M and build a modern one, cost wise it's more than starting from scratch. The government still doing there best to enhance the existing structure, however it's neither sufficient nor perfect. Why don't you Refer to the Kuala Lumpur experience and you will find that it's the only way to move forward. On the top of that, the unemployment rate has been reduced from 13% to 8% in 3 years bec. Of the huge construction role. The roads quality network world ranking jumped from 118 to 75. A huge metro lines expansion covered most of old cairo and eventually they are building the biggest musuem in the world which will open by Q4 2020.

[@A.c.e.99]

as an Egyptian i can tell you this is a disgrace. This money should be spent on cairo (rennovation) and help other cities outside cairo and provide jobs in the outer provinces so people dont keep coming to cairo. this wouldn't happen in the first place if the government managed the cities right. and truly helped the people across the whole country. Cairo deserves to forever be the capital. there is also the high probability that once they build the new capital they will neglect cairo, and it will turn to more chaos. without agriculture Egypt will fall

[@omniaaleraky3522]

I agree

[@MrFifaSwagger]

couldn't have said it better, this is just a project for corruption, they take loans from the world bank to build this, and steal half of it. Thats why they stay in power because the enemy wants us to be corrupt and weak, they don't want u to strive and flourish. No one loves Egypt and cares for her

[@A.c.e.99]

ts sad to see your country worsen and its people suffer even more as time goes by right infront of your eyes. i always wonder how did we get to this point after being the greatest and most powerful country in the world, and cairo winning most beautiful city

[@fatemakhalil3433]

Yes the city would spread out the population and maybe it will make new jobs and all the other stuff. However, they’re just avoiding the many existing problems in Cairo and in many other populated areas at the same time which should be fixed first before spending this huge amount of money elsewhere.

[@MrMatrix277]

I live about 5 minutes away from the Pyramids of Giza, not that far away from the New Capital. Let me just respond real quick to the comments talking about "fixing the current Cairo". There's multiple issues with Cairo other than it just being overpopulated and unclean, 20 million is a ridiculous number and put in perspective the amount of people that don't behave and have been there for too long to leave for a better place, they follow what you may call "my grand grand fathers have lived here so I'm not moving anywhere" The Government is already working on it, they've already started constructing compounds for people in poor areas to move to, but on the other hand a lot of them will be down to protest against improvement and if you don't believe me it's the sad truth. That's why it'd be beneficial to make a new Capital, bring the Government over and then work from a finer place to reconstruct Cairo whenever you start making money from the businesses opened in the New Capital and other factors.

[@dolophon88]

The fixing cairo plan won't ever work You cannot imagine how many problems are in cairo, beginning from the bad sewage systems to the garbage cities and the traditions to never leave my family's house as you said It sadly can never be done so it is the best way to start from the zero and then fix if possible Your friend from Alexandria living in Dubai

[@mittfh]

Not mentioned in the video: the project includes a separate city-within-a-city for the miliary, while presumably a significant amount of river water will need to be diverted to feed the park. Aside from the electric buses shuttling between the existing city and this, will there be much (if anything) in the way of public transport, or will it follow the US model and be heavily car-centric? Also, the world's largest flagpole, the military offices themselves being several times larger than the Pentagon, the park deliberately being twice as long as New York's Central Park, the world's tallest skyscraper - nothing like narcissism on full display...
