Accompanied by senior officials from the New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA), El-Minshawi inspected construction at Capital Gardens (Hadayek El-Assema), a city hosting one of the nation's largest social housing initiatives under President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's "Decent Life" directives.
The Minister specifically addressed grievances regarding the
14th announcement phase of the project, where some beneficiaries reported
delays in receiving their units. El-Minshawi stated that her visit to the
project’s largest site was intended to remove any obstacles and ensure units
are handed over as quickly as possible.
"This project is a cornerstone of the state's plan to
provide safe and dignified housing," she said, stressing that contractors
must adhere to strict delivery timelines and high-quality finishing standards.
Officials briefed the Minister on the massive scale of the
Capital Gardens development where the total number of units in the city reaches
120,186 units; 59,892 units have been completed and 60,294 units are being
constructed for low and middle-income individuals for low- and middle-income
families, In addition to a large number of services that are implemented to
serve citizens, educational, security, health, sports, religious and commercial
markets are available.
Engineer El-Minshawi inspected two finished model units and
reviewed the progress of the R2 road axis and essential utility networks,
including water, sewage, and electricity.
Following the housing tour, El-Minshawi visited a solid
waste transfer station in Obour City’s first industrial zone. The visit
followed complaints from nearby factory owners concerned about potential odors
and environmental impact once the station begins operations.
The Minister ordered immediate coordination with local manufacturers to share environmental approvals and detail the mitigation measures in place. The station will serve as a sorting and collection hub for solid waste before it is transported to a recycling plant in 10th of Ramadan City.
