Nobody can deny the daily struggles that citizens of Cairo have to deal with such as deterioration of housing and services, incredibly high population densities, and weak transportation. It is for this reason that Cairo’s planners deemed it necessary to develop a vision and strategic plan that would turn Cairo into a “modern city,” fulfilling the dreams of its citizens. This effort culminated in ‘Cairo 2050′ – a vision for Cairo’s future that was proposed in 2007/2008, and that was situated within a broader national strategic plan “Egypt 2050..”. The vision for Egypt revolved around raising the overall living standards for the Egyptian citizens through things like redistributing the population and developing the countryside rural areas, among other policies. The vision for Cairo depicted the city as full of wide boulevards and green spaces often replacing areas where millions of Egyptians currently live.
