Nexgen sustainable city by URB, will become the world’s first climate positive city producing more energy and food than it consumes.

The city is designed to provide food, energy and water security whilst also creating a green economy.

Planned for the eastern district of Cairo in Egypt, the 580 hectare sustainable city will provide 9,000 residential units for a population of 35,000 residents.

The project will create 10,000 jobs with majority focusing on green tech industries such as food-tech, energy-tech, water-tech and waste-tech, thus creating a circular green economy for the city.

Eco tourism, medical tourism, retail, edutainment and leisure facilities will transform the city into a unique destination for visitors. Hospitality facilities include a 5 star eco resort, glamping lodges, ecotourism visitor center and a nature reserve conservation hub. Medical facilities include an autism village, rehabilitation & wellness center as well as clinics.
