Officials from the ministry, the governorate, and the Urban Development Fund were also in attendance.
At the outset, Minister El-Sherbiny emphasized the ministry’s commitment to redeveloping unsafe areas in Cairo, in line with directives from the political leadership. This initiative, carried out in collaboration with the Cairo Governorate and the Urban Development Fund, includes the transformation of the Maspero Triangle area. Additionally, efforts are underway to revive Khedivial Cairo as part of a broader plan to restore the city’s historical, cultural, and urban significance.
