These projects include the New Ras El Hekma City (Shams El Hekma), the area from West Ras El Hekma to Semla and Alam El-Roum, and the West Dabaa Urban Agglomeration. The meeting was attended by ministry officials, representatives from the New Urban Communities Authority, and the heads of the Northwest Coast sector authorities.
During his visit, Housing Minister Sherif El-Sherbiny was
briefed on the progress of the first phase of the New Ras El Hekma area. Key
updates included the status of ongoing projects like the drinking water and
irrigation systems, a new hotel, and administrative offices.
The Minister also reviewed the allocation of land and the
latest developments on infrastructure work for the "Shams El Hekma"
urgent-development zone. This work involves establishing networks for roads,
water, sewage, rainwater drainage, and electricity, along with the construction
of a consolidated cemetery for current Ras El Hekma residents. The master plan
for this replacement area outlines residential, service, commercial, and
investment zones, all connected by a main road network.
Additionally, El-Sherbiny received updates on land
development in the new West Dabaa Urban Agglomeration, which falls under the
jurisdiction of the New Urban Communities Authority. The briefing covered the
status of replacement lands for current residents and the progress of
infrastructure, including drinking water, sanitation, roads, electricity, and
service buildings. The goal is to create a fully integrated urban community
with comprehensive services for local residents.
Concluding the meeting, Minister of Housing Sherif
El-Sherbiny directed officials to speed up infrastructure work to ensure the
rapid development of the Northwest Coast.
He emphasized the need to provide all necessary services to the region's new development zones. The minister called for regular progress reports on all projects and stressed the importance of a unified effort among all agencies to ensure timely and high-quality completion of the work.
