Proposed new capital of Egypt : ウィキペディア英語版 | Proposed new capital of Egypt
The proposed new capital of Egypt is a large-scale project announced by Egyptian housing minister Mostafa Madbouly at the Egypt Economic Development Conference on 13 March 2015. The new, yet-unnamed city is to be located 45 kilometers (28 miles) east of Cairo and just outside the Second Greater Cairo Ring Road in a currently largely undeveloped area halfway to the seaport city of Suez. According to the plans, the city would become the new administrative and financial capital of Egypt, housing the main government departments and ministries, as well as foreign embassies. On total area, it would have a population of five million people, though it is estimated that the figure could rise to seven million.〔http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/14/africa/egypt-plans-new-capital/〕 Officially, a major reason for the undertaking of the project was to relieve congestion in Cairo, which is already one of the world's most crowded cities, with the population of greater Cairo expected to double in the next few decades.〔〔http://www.citymetric.com/skylines/so-why-egypt-building-new-capital-city-right-next-cairo-855〕 == Plans == The city is planned to consist of 21 residential district and 25 "dedicated districts." It's downtown is to have skyscrapers and a tall monument said to resemble the Eiffel Tower and Washington Monument.
