"Egypt's 'development corridor "

"Egypt's development corridor "

The development corridor is planned to expand the inhabitable area of Egypt as well as creating jobs for the country's large youth population. About 95% of Egyptians live around the fertile Nile River. The rest of Egypt is covered by vast deserts. We need to open up more land for building cities and towns and to increase our potential for expansions for the younger generations. By the year 2050, the population of Egypt will have increased by 60 million people. We need to expand the area we live in, so we can add more agriculture, more industry and create new jobs. We should continue developing areas like Sinai, but we need to move about 20 million people to the west of the Nile. The project includes building a superhighway and railway network that connects the northern coast to the southern borders of Egypt, parallel to the Nile valley. There will then be 12 highways that run east to west, which will connect the main cities around the Nile to the new highway to make for easy and fast travel from the main population centres to the new areas as the new cities and towns develop.
