in a significant move to establish a unified and actionable vision for Egypt’s real estate and urban development sector, Cityscape Egypt 2025 has officially launched with the formation of a high-level steering committee. The committee convened its inaugural meeting on May 6 in the New Administrative Capital, bringing together senior government leaders to discuss investment strategies and opportunities across Egypt. This milestone sets the stage for a structured dialogue to align national priorities with market needs and define the strategic roadmap for the Egypt Real Estate Summit 2025, scheduled for September.
The committee will serve as the central decision-making body for the summit, ensuring it delivers policy-relevant outcomes to advance one of Egypt’s most critical economic sectors. It is designed to foster long-term collaboration among ministries, regulators, investors, and developers, enabling cross-sector investment beyond just real estate.
With Egypt undertaking some of the region’s most ambitious urban transformation projects, from next-generation smart cities to climate-resilient infrastructure, the committee plays a pivotal role in aligning the summit with Egypt Vision 2030. Its mission includes developing a cross-sector roadmap that integrates real estate with investment, infrastructure, tourism, and sustainability.
