Since its establishment in 1979, the New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA) has played a transformative role in Egypt’s urban development. With a mission to create sustainable, modern communities, NUCA leads the way in planning, building, and managing new cities that meet the evolving needs of Egypt’s growing population.
NUCA’s Core Achievements and Goals
NUCA has been instrumental in implementing a national strategy that balances population growth, economic development, and environmental sustainability. Its key achievements include:
- Creating New Civilized Urban Centers
Designed to promote community stability and economic prosperity through well-planned residential, commercial, and industrial zones. - Redistribution of Population Away from the Nile Valley
By encouraging settlement in desert and remote areas, NUCA helps alleviate the pressure on the Nile Valley’s limited resources. - Developing New Attraction Zones
NUCA has identified and developed strategic areas beyond existing cities and villages to serve as new magnets for investment and population growth. - Preserving Agricultural Land
By extending urban development into desert areas, NUCA reduces urban sprawl on fertile agricultural lands. - Modern Urban Planning Systems
All new cities are planned with the latest technologies and urban planning principles to ensure efficiency, sustainability, and quality of life.
Housing for All Income Levels
A key pillar of NUCA’s mission is social inclusion through affordable housing. The authority ensures the availability of housing units for low-income citizens, aiming to uplift living standards across different socio-economic segments. Through various government-backed projects, NUCA provides:
- Affordable housing with flexible payment options
- Infrastructure and public services that meet modern needs
- Strategic locations near job markets, services, and transport
Strategic Site Selection
To continue Egypt’s urban expansion, NUCA carefully selects the most suitable locations for new cities. These sites are chosen based on economic potential, infrastructure connectivity, and environmental suitability, ensuring long-term success for both investors and residents.
A Commitment to Excellence
NUCA’s success is rooted in its expert engineering, architecture, and management teams, all of whom are dedicated to delivering the highest standard of service. From concept to completion, NUCA ensures that every project aligns with Egypt’s vision for a prosperous and sustainable future.
