Engineer Sherif El-Sherbiny, Minister of Housing and Urban Utilities, confirmed that the ministry has succeeded in eliminating informal settlement areas, explaining that alternative housing zones have been established, such as the Maspero Triangle Project, with the aim of serving residents and improving their quality of life.
The minister pointed out that the ministry continues to advance investment projects, with a large number currently under implementation. He emphasized that the Fustat Gardens Project represents a major step forward in urban development, noting that the project includes restaurants, children’s play areas, green hills, and views of the Pyramids from within the site.
He also referred to the redevelopment of the Magra El-Oyoun Wall area, which was once classified as a hazardous zone, stressing that the project has received wide positive feedback. He confirmed that the ministry is planning to implement large-scale projects in the near future.
The minister further highlighted the ministry’s commitment to providing housing units suitable for all segments of Egyptian society, adding that the state offers significant support for units within the Housing for All Egyptians initiative to meet citizens’ needs. He affirmed that these projects are fully serviced and contribute to fundamentally improving living conditions.
Speaking about New Alamein City, El-Sherbiny noted that it has become a prominent tourist destination attracting visitors from various nationalities. He presented the ministry’s plan to allocate new spaces for the creation of a fully integrated city on the North Coast, including East Matrouh City, and explained that efforts are underway to connect these cities through the international coastal road to maximize the benefits of their geographical location.
Regarding the New Administrative Capital, the minister stressed that the government’s move there has prompted the ministry to focus on development projects in Historic Cairo with the aim of fully reviving it and enhancing its infrastructure. He also underscored the importance of restoring heritage gardens such as Azbakeya Park, where comprehensive redevelopment work is currently underway to preserve its cultural and aesthetic value.
