CAIRO – Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli on Thursday paid a visit to the New Administrative Capital to follow up the implementation progress of the “Green River Park” also referred to as the “Capital Park”, which is set to be a river-like series of large-scale urban parks.
Madbouli was accompanied by Housing Minister Assem el Gazzar and a host of respective officials.
El Gazzar posted the premier on the progress made in the construction works there, noting that the project is set to be ready for operation by June 30.
The housing minister said that the park is designed to host recreational, educational and artistic activities.
It will be one of the new capital’s landmarks, as it is expected to contribute to achieving a high quality of life for citizens.
The 35 km long Green River purposes to act as a connector between the modern and diverse urban neighborhoods. The initial phase will be of about the first 10 kilometers, extending from the central ring road to the regional ring with 9 billion pounds estimated investment.
The central park will extend over a 10 km area to make it one of the largest in the world. It is considered to be the key component in the urban structure of the new administrative capital. The landscape area respects the topographical nature of the location and harmonizes with the general ecosystem. The park will include an integrated network of lanes for pedestrians and bicycles and a variety of distinguishing projects.
The landscape areas inside the capital will be irrigated by the output of the water treatment plants and the park will encompass a wide variety of vegetation that reflects the rich Egyptian natural vegetation environment.
The central park is likely to accommodate more than two million visitors annually and will offer the newest communication and transport systems.
