[@karielakeh7850]

The new capital will just be a suburb like new cairo for rich people in Egypt. The Egyptian government has been building suburbs for 70 years now to separate themselves from the poor and this is no different. Eventually the suburbs already built get more congested by lower classes of people who save to live there, and the government and rich people reaction becomes the same: build a new suburb. The only promise from this project as that it becomes a business capital and lures foreign investment, but knowing how incompetent our government is, I am not optimistic.

Can you please elaborate more? As far as I know, Delhi's Central Vista project still takes place in central New Delhi, and not far away. Places like Gurgaon and Noida don't have government buildings like New Cairo.

@@RK-bx1by What he meant was that people live in that region because it's much cheaper there and then travel to Delhi for work via Metro and other means, the government is still based in Delhi, all they are doing is building new buildings to replace the old crumbling infrastructure.

​@@surojeetchatterjee It's a mix of Gurgaon (new office buildings, residences, etc.) and Putrajaya (mostly government buildings in large plot of land a little far away from the larger city of Kuala Lumpur). As far as I know, Gurgaon never got any major government buildings. All of those are still in New Delhi. Putrajaya is more similar to New Cairo than Gurgaon. Have a look on Google Maps, it's got massive government buildings, similar to what has been proposed for New Cairo. But Putrajaya is not meant to be a business hub like central Kuala Lumpur, so I think it's best to say that New Cairo is a mix of both Gurgaon and Putrajaya. P.S. Parramatta, near Sydney, is also a close example of what New Cairo wants to achieve. Parramatta is now getting government offices which used to be in Sydney CBD and it's also getting skycrapers and becoming a business hub. Many people also live there.

[@mohamedzanaty5230]

Egypt definitely needs a new capital, the problem is we spent a fortune for it. Combining that with COVID and Russo Ukrainian war. It's a recipe for economical instability. External debt has reached about 50% of our GDP. IMO there are a lot of issues we could have solved with maybe 20% of what we spent on the new capital. Education, healthcare, infrastructure and tourism could have flourished with that amount of money and it's not just spending without return, tourism is an investment for the future because we've been relying on it for foreign reserves for long time. Now we're stuck with very high inflation and decaying hope for the new capital success. If it didn't work we're just doomed. God help us

as an egyptian i gotta tell u while there is some constructive criticism there, there is also a TONNE of misinformation and lies to kind of sink this projects before it’s even afloat. Egypt has always been the sleeping giant, we have a lot of resources and the pillars to be an extremely modern, wealthy and innovative country but weve been hindered by poor leadership in the past like 60-70 years! This is the first step of the giant on its way to awaken from it’s slumber so I understand why that would make many boots tremble and want to take it down, but trust me the New Capital is very very exciting and promising and probably where a lot of the future will be and not only for egypt but the entire region too. It’s a new dubai potentially and this type of innovation and ambition was never there before that egyptians forgot how to feel it! So to see it in the current government is truly refreshing. Keep an eye on this city for the short term future… it will surely impress you!

The new administrative capital will ONLY succeed if they provide enough affordable social housing to relieve population density in Cairo AND provide cheap and efficient transportation system inside the new capital as well as to and from Cairo....and from what we've seen so far that's not the case at all. The new capital now has Egypt's most expensive universities, plenty of high end gated communities right in the middle of the city, and an expensive transportation system (monorail) that middle and high classes can only afford. What is gonna happen is most poor people wouldn't afford to live in the new capital and will stay in Cairo, while richer people will move to the new capital, increasing segregation between different classes....so yeah this new capital - for the most part- is a city for the rich

For people getting impressed from the new capital and of course since its well made and built like no doubt . No one will give a real insight of what happenings in egypt .

Moving to such city is not gonna be possible anytime through our their lifetime . So since we talked that moving their is impossible for 70% of egyptians lets talk about the amount of money wasted in this city that because of it the egyptian economy and currency is going down to lifetime low record and all of this just to build an appeling looking city with high skyscrapers and longest building in Africa. Wow . But its not important to fight inflation that went up by 100% on nearly all products if not even more . And of course its jot important for your currency to lose 50% of its value in 8 month its completely fine . We will have a shitty economy and quality of life .

Let me correct you on some points It's not smart to build a whole new city in the desert from scratch It's not smart to build a monorail And it won't solve any problem This city is designed to be a fortress for the government It's really far from Cairo to prevent people from coming and protesting So let's explain why it's not smart to build a whole new city in the desert 1: it's a literal desert it's hot Water is low And it costs a ton of money And the city is going to cost like 60 billion dollars 2:instead of spending 60 million dollars to build a new city you can spend them on improving the main city and clean the air Why a monorail is a bad idea 1: it takes less capacity than train or metro 2: it's expensive to build and to operate Why it won't solve any problem ? From what you saw it's a shiny new capital with luxury housing and luxury transport options Considering more than 50% of Egyptians are poor it won't be inhabited We can prove this by the number of new cities built to ease the population of Cairo cities like new Cairo madinaty 6th October etc In this video you talked about how beautiful the city is but you didn't talk about how it's a fortress made to keep the people away from the government to prevent a second revolution And if the people came and protested there The largest military HQ is not far away and it's like a city within a city And it has its own powerplant to cut power from the people at any time while the Capital stays shiny And it has it's own airport so if the people are successful the dictators can leave at any time

it takes alot more resources and time to fix issues like these in a place like cairo it got congested by doing some upgrades here and there. its easier and more beneficial to build a new capital from scratch,literally a cheap desert turned into money bringer

[@jakegarvin7634]

Now I am definitely no Urban Planner, but looking at the size of Cairo, and the size of that new city, plus how close the two are together makes me think that it won't help with the congestion because they're just gonna grow together

[@user-or1rm1ol3q]

Yeah but. If there is now new capital. Cairo will grow. Alone which. Will make. It's growth. Two times than if there is new capital you got it ?

They should build a city for manufacturing, workshops converting raw materials to actual products to increase the economic activity. He the president should ask the workshop owners who make things in tiny streets to come here and set up shop. This new city needs manufacturing sector so Old Cairo can loosen up.

I enjoyed your video, being balanced. I am from Egypt, but bored of the negative impressions I get from other KZbinrs.

[@mdanmariusalbarina2009]

Because their dictator said so P.s. The plans for the city doesnt seem to include that much low incone housing (which is badly needed by the average Egyptian population). The whole city seems like a city for the rich. The city is just a way for the Egyptian dictator to show off his wealth just like the other dictators in the middle east. If they really wanted to benefit the Egyptian people, they should improve the already existing cities instead by building more affordable housing, adding and improving public transportation,etc.

[@Ruder6163]

Improving the old city is not necessary, they need to pull a large number of citizens out of Cairo. The place is a over crowded swamp of garbage.

Cairo could use plastic garbage consuming plasma energy, gas and glass production. Security glass. Cairo honking is own kind. Sisi need imf cash infusion. New city is a soft opening. UAE may be involved in a lot of real estate in Egypt these days.

[@davidolivas2082]

Just a note that a lot of the things that are being said in the video are not accurate. Ex. the US embassy. Also, the pollution is also due to not enough city employees cleaning up trash on the streets and the citizens not doing their part in keeping their city clean.

[@abdiaziizxaashi709]

The new Cairo city and other new cities across Egypt will solve urban problems for certain percentage but they will create another big problem which is segragation of poor communities from the other people (middle and upper class communities) and this results social stigma for the poor areas and people will see themselves as prisoners/non egyptians. This can burst with crimes, unrest, smuggling drugs and government will spend more budget to control these crimes. It seems the Egyptian government has no plan for the people living in the old Cairo areas similar to this new city
