Why did Egypt move its capital?

Why did Egypt move its capital? The Egyptian government believes that it is necessary to build a new administrative capital to absorb the rapidly growing population of Cairo. It was built about 45 kilometers east of Cairo, and its area is almost twice that of Cairo. It is planned to accommodate 6.5 million people. Why did Egypt move its capital?

Why did Egypt move its capital to 1 Cairo as the capital of Egypt has a history of thousands of years. It is also the largest city in the Middle East and Africa, not only across the Nile, but also a business gathering place. Mosques and minarets can be seen everywhere in the streets. With the development of economy, the development of industry, agriculture and tourism in Cairo occupies an important position in the world. However, Cairo, which has a long history, is now behind the times, and the reason for this situation is that,

As we all know, Egypt's land area is 6,543.8+0,000 square kilometers, 95% of which is endless desert, while Cairo's area is only 3,085 square kilometers, and the most suitable place for people to live is near the Nile. The population of Cairo began to rise rapidly in 1960, from the original 3.5 million to an astonishing 22 million, accounting for 65,438 of Egypt's total population. Among these 22 million people, 1/2 people live in buildings without the permission of national projects, and there is a trend of expansion. Residential areas have sprung up and surrounded the center of Cairo. How crowded is it here?

If Cairo grows at this rate, the population may double in 2050, and the traffic network in Cairo is very chaotic. Walking on the road, you will find that the road is full of cars, which brings great traffic pressure to North Cairo. In order to alleviate this situation, in desperation, Egypt decided to build a satellite city, which is located in the desert of no man's land, 45 kilometers away from Cairo. The satellite city covers an area of 700 square kilometers and can accommodate about 5 million people.

However, although the population problem has been solved, some people are unwilling to go to Silla. After all, it is a new city and there are few job opportunities. Some people still have to go to work in Cairo, which is inconvenient for a long time. However, it is reported that the relevant departments of the Egyptian government and foreign embassies will also move to Silla, which makes many Cairo people have no worries. After all, will the boss's place not develop?

As for why the United States and Japan were not chosen for construction, it is because China's infrastructure strength is in Egyptian eyes. Whether it is the super project in China or the buildings built in other countries, it is enough to show that China's infrastructure has been recognized by other countries, and this is only one of the reasons.

Because there are three difficulties in the construction of satellite cities, namely, sand control, water transfer and construction scale, and China has advantages in this respect. The first is sand control. The representative work of China is Mu Us Desert, and the control effect is very good. The second is to transfer water. People who know history should know that China's famous project, the South-to-North Water Transfer Project, can solve the water problem of satellite cities, and the final construction scale is 700 square kilometers. There are still many countries that can take over this project.

Therefore, Egypt directly approached China to build a satellite city project, and construction started in June 20 16. Now the first phase of the satellite city project has been completed. If you look down from the sky, you will find that the satellite city is well designed, the city construction is very neat, and it has sprung up in the desert. Among them, the project plans to build 25 special areas and 2 1 residential areas, which is regarded as a new commercial development.

In addition to parks, novice students have built a business district of 500,000 ㎡, including 12 office building, 5 apartment buildings and 2,000 educational institutions built in other areas, more than 660 buildings with clinics and hospitals, and 1250 mosques and minarets.

There is also a landmark tower with a height of 385m, which is also the tallest building in New China, and the speed of infrastructure construction is amazing to all countries. Each layer of paper flowers will be completed in six days until 202 1.

But it's easy to say, but it's not that easy. After all, the project to be built in Egypt is located in the desert, and the temperature in the desert is around 40 degrees, which can be said to be commonplace. For thousands of infrastructure workers in China, it is quite difficult to build high-rise buildings and other buildings in such hot weather. At present, the novice has not finished yet, but the traffic network has been formed. Once completed, it will not only promote Egypt's economic development, but also improve people's living standards.

Why did Egypt move to the capital 2 According to the Associated Press reported on the 4th, the Egyptian President ordered the Egyptian government to move to the new administrative capital from next month, which is located in the desert outside Cairo.

According to Bassam Radi, a spokesman for the Egyptian presidential palace, President Sethi has instructed the government to start a six-month trial operation in the new capital from 12 1.

The report pointed out that this city, built at a cost of 45 billion US dollars, is the largest of the large-scale projects launched since Sethi 20 14 took office. It was built about 45 kilometers east of Cairo, and its area is almost twice that of Cairo. It is planned to accommodate 6.5 million people.

The Egyptian government believes that it is necessary to build a new administrative capital to absorb the rapidly growing population of Cairo. By 2050, the population of Cairo will double to 40 million. Sethi also said that other projects in the new capital, from new roads and residential areas to the expansion of the Suez Canal, have attracted investors and created employment opportunities for more than 654.38 billion people in the country.

The Associated Press said that the city will accommodate the presidential palace, cabinet, parliament and several government departments in the future. The Egyptian government also promised to build a park about 34 kilometers long, an airport, an opera house, a sports center and 20 skyscrapers, including the tallest skyscraper in Africa with a height of 345 meters.

According to the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram, the government originally planned to relocate 52,300 government employees to the new capital by mid-2020, but this plan was postponed after the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic.

Earlier this year, Sethi said that moving the government to the new capital would "herald a new era of modern government work". The Associated Press said that for the first time since the Muslim conquest of Egypt in the 7th century, the country shifted its power center outside Cairo.
