The meeting at the Housing Ministry in the New Administrative Capital focused on initiatives where the ministry is collaborating with the Cairo Governorate.
El-Sherbiny highlighted the ministry's role in developing
unsafe areas within the capital, including the Maspero Triangle district, as
well as its involvement in the ongoing revitalization of historic Cairo.
For his part, Dr. Saber praised the cooperation with the
Housing Ministry, noting that it aims to restore the capital's historic appeal
and improve living conditions for its residents.
The two officials discussed strategies for dealing with the
issue of dilapidated buildings, a priority set by Prime Minister Dr. Moustafa
Madbouly. They reviewed proposals for creating a clear mechanism to manage
these properties, similar to the approach used for informal settlements.
The discussion also covered the latest progress on the
Maspero Triangle development project, including the Nile-facing towers, and the
revitalization of the historic Magra El Oyoun Project.
Furthermore, the meeting addressed the ongoing restoration
of the Azbakeya Heritage Garden and its surrounding area. El-Sherbiny stressed
that the project aims to revive the historic garden's cultural and historical
role, boosting tourism in the area.
Finally, the officials reviewed the status of social housing projects, with 229,086 units completed in Cairo, and discussed ongoing work on water and sanitation stations within the governorate.
