At the recent Alamein Africa Forum, Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly shared a vision for the continent’s future. He believes Africa can turn its rapid population growth into a major economic engine by reimagining how cities are built.
- Madbouly highlighted Egypt’s success with “fourth-generation cities” like the New Administrative Capital, which prioritize digital tech and climate resilience.
- Egypt is already sharing this know-how, with local firms building major infrastructure projects in Tanzania, Uganda, and Ghana.
- He emphasized that modern cities must use smart tech to handle climate challenges like water scarcity to attract investment.
- Finally, he urged countries to build partnerships between governments and private investors to fund these critical developments.
