President Sisi Discusses Development Challenges
The session on urban and metropolitan development at Egypt 2026 discussed Egypt's efforts since 2014 to develop transportation infrastructure, such as roads, ports, and public transportation, as well as the creation of new cities and housing projects. The aim has been to improve the quality of life and reduce informal settlements. President Sisi emphasized that current challenges, such as unplanned urban spread and funding shortages, are difficult to address with idealistic approaches. He praised the achievements of the state, including resolving the electricity crisis, managing the cemetery problem caused by groundwater, and developing rural areas and housing projects, with more than 60 new cities built and two million housing units completed. He also highlighted the importance of partnership with the private sector, with an allocation of 11 trillion Egyptian pounds for major projects that include building residential units and developing economic zones. Additionally, there is a commitment to projects like the "Decent Life" initiative until 2030 to enhance urban and economic development in Egypt.
