Amr Adib criticizes development harms

Historian Amr Adeeb discussed on his program "Al-Hekaya" how many Egyptian areas have been adversely affected by development projects, considering this as an illustration of the concept that "the old is old." He emphasized the importance of preserving Egypt's rich architectural heritage, stating that development does not require uprooting historic trees or destroying landmarks; rather, it should align with the protection of cultural heritage. Adeeb called for parliamentary action to prevent the cutting of historic trees, noting that Egypt has trees centuries old, in contrast to countries that care for planting and preserving such trees. He praised the presidential directives to greenify Cairo and turn abandoned spaces into gardens, asserting that the state has the capacity to achieve urban development while preserving heritage. He pointed to efforts to revive historic landmarks in Cairo and stressed the importance of maintaining these initiatives, along with the president's directives to transform vacant areas into green spaces.
