埃及正处于巨大的建筑繁荣之中，其中心是开罗以东270平方英里的新资本开发项目，旨在使该国1.03亿人的政府所在地现代化。

The Egyptian government announced in 2015 it would build the New Administrative Capital on land located between the main roads leading to the port cities of Suez and Ain El Sokhna. The urban complex will be home to up to 7 million people when complete in 2050, .

该综合体由总部位于美国的Skidmore Owings和Merrill设计，由三个阶段组成，在2030年完成时，第一阶段的成本约为580亿美元。其基本基础设施已完成，建造了几座建筑物，并设置为完成在2022年。

该市将举办两个高耸的摩天大楼。在建造两年的80层塔上工作已达到40^Thfloor. When finished, it will be 385-m high, making it the tallest building in Egypt and Africa.

However, the planned Oblisco Capitale, which will look like a Pharaonic obelisk, is due to be inaugurated in 2030 at a height of 1,000 meters, making it the tallest structure in the world.

The Arab Contractors Co., also known as Osman Ahmed Osman Co., is completing the new parliament building, which so far has required 16.5 million work hours from 6,400 workers and 300 engineers.

Covering an area of 126,000 sq m, the building has 1,000 administrative offices and a 50-m-dia dome. Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said in April that about 52,000 government employees would begin transferring to work at the new complex in August.

Crews have used about 210,000 cu m of reinforced concrete and 25,000 cu m of reinforced steel in the project, said Ahmad El Aladalany, an Arab Contractors executive, in an emailed statement.

“We have had many challenges with this project,” Aladalany said, including COVID-19 and the removal of 500,000 cu m of rock and soil.

多个阶段

第1阶段将建立新城市的核心，并专注于其运营的基本需求。它涵盖了40,000英亩的开发，包括政府区，商业区和沿着绿河沿岸建造的市区。

Phase 2 will expand the city by 47,000 acres with more residential and business areas, and Phase 3 will add another 97,000 acres.

“You can imagine a city that stretches from the Nile River to the Red Sea,” Mohamed Abdalla, chairman of Coldwell Bank Middle East and vice chairman of Acumen Holding Investment Bank, told ENR. “We are witnessing something significant in the history of Egypt.”
