We aren\u2019t the only developing country that\u2019s building itself a new city:\u00a0Overpopulation and poor infrastructure mean it\u2019s easier and less costly for developing countries to just build new cities from scratch. And so they do, writes\u00a0Bloomberg Businessweek\u2019s Monte Reel<\/a>. \u201cMy vision is to let Cairo breathe,\u201d said Ashraf Abdel Mohsen, who has a Ph.D. in architecture and was part of the team that put together seven plans for new capital cities. While urban planners generally believe every person deserves about 16 square meters of greene space, Cairo only gives each one of us about 0.3 meters.<\/strong><\/p>

Bigger, faster, stronger:\u00a0While building a new city isn\u2019t original, the new administrative capital is notable for its size. Egypt hired Chicago-based firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill to draw a new master plan of a city that will include everything from an education and science hub to an airport and amusement park \u201cfour times the size of California\u2019s Disneyland.\u201d The city is also expected to include a housing complex that could accommodate for 7 mn people and the largest mosque and church on the continent. One of the project organizers said President Abdel Fattah El Sisi\u2019s dedication to the project will ensure that it becomes \u201ca cash machine for Egypt for the next 50 years.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>
