Madbouly reviews legalisation of newly annexed lands to new cities, housing offerings
Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly chaired a meeting on Monday at the government headquarters in New Alamein City to follow up on the legalisation of land recently annexed to several new cities, alongside updates on housing and land offerings and other ongoing projects. The meeting was attended by Sherif El Sherbiny, Minister of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities; Walid Abbas, First Deputy Chairperson of the New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA); and Amin Ghoneim, NUCA Deputy Chairperson for Urban Development and City Upgrading. At the start of the meeting, Madbouly stressed the importance of completing the legalisation process to protect state resources and regularise residents' status in these areas, thus ensuring legal and social stability. This, he noted, is critical for building integrated, well-planned urban communities. He also emphasised delivering legalised plots in a phased manner to maintain steady development. The Minister of Housing confirmed that the legalisation process is progressing steadily, with submitted applications under review and finalisation underway for cases that have completed the required procedures. El Sherbiny highlighted ongoing efforts to expedite the legalisation of land status for individuals and entities in newly added areas, aiming to speed up urban development and meet future housing needs. He also reviewed the Ministry's broader efforts to implement national projects that provide adequate housing units, strengthen infrastructure, and improve public services in new cities. These initiatives, he said, are aligned with the goals of the 'New Republic' and the political leadership's vision to enhance housing and urban development nationwide. El Sherbiny presented an update on current offerings covering housing units and land plots designed for different social segments. He explained that a diverse range of projects are being introduced under the presidential initiative 'Housing for All Egyptians.' This includes fully subsidised units for low-income groups under the Social Housing Programme, as well as units for middle-income groups offered with facilitated payment plans. Higher-income groups, meanwhile, can purchase units at market rates, with the revenue used to subsidise housing for lower-income citizens — a model aimed at promoting social justice. The Minister also reviewed projects targeting land located along key roads and highways, including ongoing works along the 26th of July Corridor. These works cover the expansion of the existing road beneath the monorail, stretching from the intersection with the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road to the intersection with the Wahat Road, spanning parts of 6th of October and Sheikh Zayed cities.
