How did the idea of establishing New Cairo arise?

The city of New Cairo is considered one of the third-generation cities, which was established by Presidential order 191 of the year 2000. The work on the construction of the city of New Cairo coincided with the construction of the ring road, which aims to connect all of Greater Cairo with a road around it.

In the meantime, it was proposed to establish a group of 12 urban communities surrounding the ring road, and they were named the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth settlements, and it was expected that each settlement would accommodate 200,000 people. The one who proposed this idea was Hasaballah Al-Kafrawy, Minister of Housing at the time.

In the beginning, it was planned that these communities be established to serve citizens with weak financial capabilities, but with the start of implementing the project, the government realized that the total cost of connecting all facilities and services would be very high, especially since the New Cairo area rises above sea level by about 180 meters, which makes business Utilities are more expensive.

Therefore, the proposal appeared to introduce an opportunity for private investment by allowing establishing of residential compounds, medium and above-average projects, as well as luxury projects. This way they stopped working on constructing the rest of the settlements and finished only the ones that started construction.

From here, New Cairo and the Fifth Settlement began to appear in their current form as a residential and investment area that includes all residential projects, starting from economic, as well as above-average and luxury ones as well.
