looks like things will finally reach an agreement and construction will start soon, very soon
![]() http://www3.youm7.com/News.asp?NewsI...D=97&IssueID=0 I'm loving the skyline, btw do you know those buildings in the middle they're taller than the ministry of foreign affair building (143m) so how tall are these beauties? are we gonna get Africa's tallest?

![]() And those two towers do look very tall; they're probably like 220m-230m because it's not twice as tall as the ministry of foreign affairs, however they are very tall. That article is talking about how people living there need to give consent so they can start construction. I don't know how I feel about this; I think they should definitely develop a new city center with skyscrapers but farther down along the nile. |

Unless they give evacuated residents better places to live than what they have now, I would rather not see this happen.

I think they should move this city center down the nile; perhaps even away completely from the Nile and make it in like New Cairo or 6th october. That's a much more efficient idea.

I disagree, having a financial center this size in a city with less than a million people makes no sense whatsoever. This should be in the heart of modern Cairo.

It's located near Gezira Island where all the other skyscrapers in Cairo are, we can't just have them scattered all over the place.

The Radio & Television building should be demolished or at least renovated, it looks older than the Sphinx.

Disagree! I think it's unique and iconic.

No it's the development of Maspero triangle. the project is to transfer an area called Maspero triangle into a financial district.

All very good news, Alhamdulilah and I do agree that the tv building does in fact require renovation, however it doesn't need to be completely demolished. But that video that was posted earlier on this thread shows exactly where the project is going to be located.

A proposal for a new central business district comes up in Central Cairo and three existing structures are incorporated into the district. The district may be served by two metro stations (Maspero (Line 3) and Nasser (Lines 1 and 3)).

cool, so now they agreed upon the deal, I hope the minister follow the foot steps of his predecessor. Also it mentioned that they're getting ready to start the construction
