@@gunner6094 Speling
Egypt’s new capital project reminds me of Brazil’s Brasilia megaproject and Nigeria’s Abuja masterplan. If done right, it has the potential to be a great success, but it could also be a catastrophic failure. Only time will tell.
A lot depends on if people feel safe on the streets and not cut off by giant 6 lane roads all the time. Walkability and streetscaping is important. As well as transit.
how did brazil's go?
@@myiLLmind Brasília construction went with many problems, the government took a massive debt, but it was done just in time. Today the city grew so much for its original plan. Also the city seems to be struggling in developing its own personality. There are no cultural references and all landmarks are government buildings or obelisks. Many of their habitants just work on weekdays and take a plane in the weekend to enjoy their hometowns. The central places are too expensive so only government workers can afford since the city's economy relies on services to these rich government employees. Because of that, the poor is relegated to satellite cities, many of which are shanty towns in Brasilia's vicinities. But the main consequence was to empty Rio de Janeiro's economy, which used to be the old capital. Rio is struggling with economic and social issues since then, which led to higher crime rates as you've probably seen in the news. By the way, I think that's the most valuable lesson Cairo can take out of Brazil's case. They must have a transition plan so they can keep their finances in check.
@@dedk0 wow great answer. This seems like the exact same problem egypt might have. Nobody wants to live there, even the government people that are going to be forced there. it also seems like it will lack character.
It will never be completed

Jeke San You’d be an idiot to say skyscraper = development. If you were to say that, then Asia is more Developed than the USA and Europe.
As much as it looks pretty they really need to make MOST of its houses affordable. 100 000 is not enough for the people of Egypt.
The fact that the government quarters are being built there tells you all you need to know.
They are building like 10 new cities not only this
@@ibnel-khattab3905 I'm sceptical, but I wish you all the best (I want the project to succeed)
100.000 in a city for 6.000.000 is not that much now is it.
It is something, Alex. It is something.
I sometimes wonder where the world gets all the resources to build such cities on this scale.
Lot and lots of loaned money
Australia
Industry and high technology. There are millions of people working as scientists, architects and engineers around the globe to enable the construction of vast urban projects.
It is pretty surprising that we still have enough resources on the planet to fuel our never ending consumption. But each year we are finding better ways to do things with less materials and energy. Can only imagine the day when asteroid mining becomes feasible.
Egypt has a huge young population, and Egyptians are very smart. The problem is that many have left the country, however many are also coming back with their added know-how and resources. Much of the infrastructure to support such projects are built by the military (for ex. the Suez Canal expansion, bridges and highways), basically it is very low cost labor, as all Egyptians must serve for 1 or 2 years in the military.
I didnt know Egypt has this in plan..good job.. I will visit one day.. Im happy for Egypt...

So instead of fixing the issue they just decide to try again elsewhere? And the new one doens't have a metro either? How backwards.
It have a monrail
You know who's is going to live in the old side.... the non Egyptian citizens... 1984 was the las time I was in Egypt, it was a very dirty city, I can't imagine what it looks like now.
Just like Brazilia...
they try to fix te issue by building a new city for people to live in, as Cairo is so overcongested, that they can't build anything inside of it
Well it was designed by Americans, masters of urban and transit planning /s

In contrast to the aforementioned, there are many existing projects for the development of old Cairo, 3 underground metro lines, dozens of bridges, and roads have been completed and others are currently being under construction (I live in Cairo)
$58BN seems pretty optimistic compared to much smaller projects like Hudson Yards or Crossrail.
@sanjay a p p So?Your point is?
@sanjay a p p he said dollars kid
Its built using free army conscript labour
It only consists the first phase....
I live just 20km from what will be the New Capital, but never went there to see the construction, which I am told is massive. A new airport is also planned. Egypt has a huge advantage in that they can just build into the desert, without taking anybody’s land. New Cairo, between Old Cairo and the New Capital, is already impressive by itself, but badly planned for transportation. They are fixing it now.
I live near it too
Well until not so long ago, making use of the desert on such a scale would have been unthinkable as well. The cost of infrastructure just to make it livable would have been prohibitive.
So I guess it's a case of now finally being able to make more use of formerly mostly unusable lands. Meaning Egypt now has a lot more land it can consider uses for... well if they're willing and able to pay the enormous upfront costs of course. Which they might if population keeps increasing, Nile area can only house so many.
Though on an idle side thought, I couldn't help but notice they placed the new Capital area as an extension of Cairo almost really. So if that one also ended filled up due to population growth, would one then just go even further East and build yet a new city segment all the way to the Red Sea? Would be kind of epic at least, but perhaps also not thus the most practical solution... Though I guess it would get you a good new port area on the Red Sea, hmm.
Its silly not to pour the money into infrastructure upgrades for the current capital and expanding cairos outskirts itself. The problem with egyptians is they still think they are ancient egyptian whom build pyramids when in fact, you cant even solve traffic issues.
@@caserasera4776 There have been massive infrastructure upgrades in Cairo itself. Worth mentioning, but in itself just a curiosity, the Guinness record for the widest suspension bridge in the world over the river Nile, which allows through traffic away from downtown. The main rail station in Cairo has been renovated and the rest of rail infrastructure is being fixed. Two new airport terminals at Cairo International, etc., etc..
Lol, its just gonna be an abandoned megacity. I'm sorry but either Egypt is heading for an economic crisis by building this, or this guy is just saying stuff. Because the price to build this thing is literally just 40 percent more than Egypt's GDP.
Can't wait.. Looks cool!
Egyptian and proud
That’s crazy. Why don’t they invest that money to improve the infraestructures of Cairo instead of build a new entire capital city?
Indeed.
Or spent that money to other city in Egypt
Because Cairo is over populated already for example old 4 floors buildings and Villas replaced by an ugly 13 floors building no place to park your car , local governmental school double it's students capacity more than it were originally is , Garbage disposal are always full however Garbage trucks clear it ever single day ......what i mean that the place is fully stressed and messed up and it needs to be expanded
In fact we are so late
Investing in new city ( like dubai) will Return with profits, Improving infraestracture will not

Amazing content. can you please do New Alamein city, Egypt
Why don't they spend a significantly smaller amount of money building some proper underground metro lines? Perhaps because certain oligarchs would not benefit sufficiently from such a project?
Vlad Snape they are actually expanding the metro line. The problem is that it is very difficult to build tunnels in crumbly stone, with the weight of buildings above. Sinkholes are a curse here in Egypt.
@@koantao8321 It might be difficult, but is now part of standard engineering practice, ie. tunnelling through alluvial deposits ("shield tunnelling"). It can be done, and is done, around the world. As far as the buildings above go, they just need to go deep enough.
The population is growing so fast and all the cities is overcrowded ,, so we building a new 14 city in desert ,, new metro line isnot the solution

$58BN is cheap. Must be all that cheap labor
true we have pretty cheap labor and experienced and skilled work force, similar to china in the 80s, your average engineer gets paid around 7000 pounds to 13k pounds monthly thats 350 to 650 dollar monthly
surely no mega project ever was miscalculated. That even china is pulling out means nothing good. they are masters in investing in uncertain real estate so if they back out... But egeypt shouldn t worry they just need to find oil and they can finance this massive project.
$58BN is only the phirst phase, first of all; yes there is cheap labor, second(as is said) it’s only the first phase and the budget is already exceeding...

For all the people who says why they don't improve the old City?
I'm an Egyptian citzen living in one of the most congested and crowded city on this planet - it's nearly impossible to strip all the old inefficient infrastructure which serving 23M and build a modern one, cost wise it's more than starting from scratch. The government still doing there best to enhance the existing structure, however it's neither sufficient nor perfect. Why don't you Refer to the Kuala Lumpur experience and you will find that it's the only way to move forward.
On the top of that, the unemployment rate has been reduced from 13% to 8% in 3 years bec. Of the huge construction role. The roads quality network world ranking jumped from 118 to 75. A huge metro lines expansion covered most of old cairo and eventually they are building the biggest musuem in the world which will open by Q4 2020.
The new administrational city is built to ease the pressure of the old Cairo so they can fix it and improve its efficiency
We need this
+ We are making a 15 mega city not only new capital
We are 109m Egyptian + 6m syrian's+Libyan Sudanese etc on 5% of our lands

Not only do they have the worst congestion, Egypt has some of the worst telecommunications in the world as well. Try doing a remote desktop session to an oil rig moored on the Egyptian coast and you'll see, you might as well be communicating with Voyager 2.
