Egyptian Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly said on Saturday that the state has been acting to develop and upgrade unsafe and unplanned areas, given the fact that 135 areas were chosen, where more than seven million people live.

As many as 56 areas were already developed serving 450,000 families and work is underway on the rest in line with the action plan in this regard, Madbouly further said.

Madbouly presented the overhauling work in some areas including El Zawya El Hamra area in Cairo and areas in the governorates of New Valley, Minya and Red Sea.

Shifting to Old Cairo restoration project, he asserted the state aims at restoring the splendor of the area by preserving and restoring archaeological buildings with historical value.

In Suez, 20,000 new housing units were set up to provide residents of unsafe areas with decent homes, he further noted according to MENA.

Madbouly concluded that the government will focus on completing the half million housing units project in capitals of governorates in the phase to come, in addition to the development of slums and historical Cairo with a total cost of nearly 600 billion Egyptian pounds.
