The Egyptian government is implementing a national project to green various provinces, with a focus on Cairo. The project involves planting trees and providing ongoing maintenance for green spaces. According to the government's spokesperson, Mohamed Adel, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli recently met with officials to discuss the project's progress and inspect areas in Cairo.
The meeting was attended by the Minister of Local Development and Environment, the Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, and the Governor of Cairo. The officials reviewed the project's progress and discussed ways to accelerate its implementation. The government aims to create green spaces in main axes, city entrances, and public squares, while also utilizing unused areas.
The government's plan involves scientific models to determine the best approaches for different provinces. The models prioritize environmental and climatic considerations, as well as water conservation. The goal is to create a tangible impact on the environment and improve the aesthetic appeal of cities. The government has emphasized the importance of ongoing maintenance for green spaces.
In Cairo, the governorate aims to plant 1 million plants within a year. So far, around 60,000 trees and 800,000 plants and shrubs have been planted. The government has also invited consulting firms to present models for greening the city, taking into account environmental and climatic factors.
The project also involves creating public parks in new cities and a lake in El-Obour. The government aims to utilize unused areas and convert them into green spaces for citizens. The Prime Minister has stressed the importance of identifying unused lands in Cairo and provinces to transform them into parks and green spaces.
The government's efforts focus on expanding tree planting and greening various provinces, not just Cairo. The initiative aims to improve the environment, mitigate the effects of climate change, and enhance the beauty of cities. The project is expected to have a positive impact on citizens' quality of life.
The government has urged officials to work efficiently to achieve the project's objectives. The initiative is part of the government's efforts to address environmental challenges and improve the country's infrastructure. The project is expected to be completed within a year, with ongoing maintenance and care for the green spaces.
