Egypt Housing Minister oversees infrastructure and urban development projects

Randa Al-Minshawi, Egypt’s Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, has been overseeing several key infrastructure and urban development initiatives across the country.

In North Sinai and East Port Said, the Minister is monitoring water security projects, including a seawater desalination plant in East Port Said with a daily capacity of 150,000 cubic meters. She also inspected the “30 June” water lifting project, which aims to support drinking water supplies in Bir al-Abd and surrounding villages. Additionally, the National Authority for Drinking Water and Sanitation is managing 24 projects in North Sinai to improve water and sewage services.

In Alexandria, Al-Minshawi reviewed the expansion and development of the West Wastewater Treatment Plant. The project aims to increase capacity to 630,000 cubic meters per day and utilize biogas for self-generated electricity to reduce pollution in Lake Mariout.

Regarding urban regulation, the Minister issued decisions to remove illegal building violations and encroachments in New Cairo and the Northwest Coast, specifically in the Sidi Abdel Rahman area, to protect state property and ensure urban discipline.
