Egyptian authorities have announced plans to develop 69,000 housing units in New October City as part of the 'Housing for All Egyptians' initiative and the 'Green Housing' project. The project is being implemented in the west of the city's airport. According to Eng. Ahmed Helmy Ali Badawi, head of the New October City development agency, infrastructure work, including utilities and road paving, is underway to ensure services are available before units are handed over to citizens.
During a meeting with executing companies and supervisory bodies, Badawi issued warnings regarding adherence to timelines and emphasized the importance of meeting approved schedules to deliver units without delay. He urged companies to increase workforce and equipment to accelerate completion while maintaining high-quality standards. The project aims to provide integrated services, including water, sewage, electricity, and cleaning, to create a comprehensive living environment.
The Egyptian government is prioritizing the development of new cities, particularly in the governorates. Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, Eng. Randa El-Menashy, reviewed the implementation status of ongoing projects and work files in several new cities in Upper Egypt. This is part of the government's efforts to improve services provided to citizens, enhance quality of life, and boost development rates in new cities.
El-Menashy monitored housing projects under the presidential 'Housing for All Egyptians' initiative, the 'Dyarna' housing project, and road development projects. She also reviewed the status of land planning proposed for investment and services in some cities. The Ministry aims to increase development rates and provide more services and investment opportunities for residents in Upper Egypt.

El-Menashy emphasized that the goal is to achieve development and service goals in these cities, creating integrated and attractive urban communities for residents and investors.
