Country with $6 Billion Defence Budget Really Need That Kind of Military HQ??
Build urban satellite town with high class public infrastructure at 1/3rd of the cost would be rational choice . Well rationality and corruption are mutually exclusive
This might just be the most ugly and inefficiently designed city I've ever seen and that includes every city in North America and the middle east. These people are stuck in outdated modernist principles that will surely make this city fail as an actual city.
Egypt didn't strike me as affluent to divert city levels of funds. From the comments I my assumption seems right. I wonder if Egypt will burn or starve in the wake of mismanagement like this.
Another wasteful prestige project courtesy of a dictator! Reminds one of Hitler’s Germania.
AI voice in video is not good enough 😢
about as realistic as the line in Saudi. feel sorry for the people of Egypt
Crazy mega projects, weird Euclidean zoning, wild road construction all with reckless abandon as though you're playing cities skylines with unlimited money. What could go wrong? It's a lavish city exclusively for rulers. 22:29 precisely, this is functionally what the palace of Versailles was for Louis XIV.
Imagine if they spent $50B on improving infrastructure in and around Cairo and connecting the old satellite capital cities rather than trying to build a new city from scratch. Could have been a massive boost to the country, people and gdp. Nah a few guys will get rich instead.
This pharaonic project of Ozymandian proportions would make Ramses II's monuments look like a baby's block buildings in comparison.
They could have built a small administrative new capital like Canberra in Australia which is little more than a town. But no.. they had to spend the entirety of Egypts taxes, debt and treasury on a vanity project that they can't afford to finish..
The issue isn't overpopulation it's corruption..
Oh yeah, the classic old wealth shift. Cool, what's next?
At 21:03, how did you get 45km from 23 miles? Is that Egyptian math?
How do you get out quickly if there's a big fire?
We live in a dystopian future…
oh egypt when will you learn
But it is in a desert and the military has to assault a city in urban combat not capable of effectively using heavy equipment to retake control over the water supply they need for the new capital🤔
China helped build.. oh boy… 😅🤦♂️
Anyone else seeing the future capitol of the One world gov, the head of the beast system?
It's a shame cause there is one solution that would actually help ALL Egyptians, from the poor to those in power,if all that money was invested into created a new farm irrigation from the Nile or the Red Sea. It would have helped create more land to spread out their population, give new revenue with farming, and fight back the desert. There's plenty of stories of deserts being irrigated to eliminate threat of the desert, many are close by, Israel was one, there's the Sahara Great Green Wall making headway just south of the desert, even China has made some efforts to tackle their deserts. What gives Egypt the edge advantage is the Nile is a plentiful source of water that was likely how ancient times were able to prosper, that I know of their ancient ancestors practically invested irrigation so it's not like it hasn't been done before.
Sounds like a majority of their problems are brought upon themselves!
is Egypt that rich?
This seems like a common knowledge, yet you're still missing citing your sources.
