Noor New Capital is a planned city in Egypt, located near Cairo. The project was launched in March 2017 by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. It is a major industrial, commercial and recreational hub that is being developed to help ease some of the strain on the overcrowded capital.
Noor New Capital covers an area of around 60 square kilometers and is projected to be home to 6.5 million people by 2028. Once completed, it is expected to generate more than 4 million jobs. The city is planned to include world-class hospitals, universities, schools, parks, and cultural attractions such as theaters and museums.
Noor New Capital is designed to be eco-friendly, with the authorities aiming for it to run entirely on renewable energy in the future. The city is being built with smart technology, including reliable internet access and state-of-the-art public transportation.
The development of Noor New Capital is part of a larger plan by the Egyptian government to aid economic growth in the country. It is hoped that it will provide a sustainable solution to the housing shortage in Cairo while also facilitating the growth of other industries.
