Egypt's Minister Manal Awad oversees environmental and urban development projects
Egypt's Minister of Local Development and Environment, Manal Awad, is overseeing several key environmental and urban development initiatives across the country.
During the 76th board meeting of the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA), the council discussed enhancing environmental investment and the sustainable use of natural resources. Key discussions included the requirement for all projects to pay administrative fees for environmental impact assessments and reviewing proposals for private sector investment in natural protectorates to support eco-tourism.
In Giza, Minister Awad met with local officials to monitor the development of Gamet El Dowal El Arabia Street and Mostafa Mahmoud Square. To mitigate environmental impact, she mandated that any trees removed during road and utility upgrades must be replaced with double the original amount.
Additionally, the Minister inspected the second phase of the Attaba Market development project in Cairo. Funded entirely by the Ministry of Local Development and Environment, the project aims to modernize the historic commercial area. Current progress reports indicate that the restoration of building facades has reached a 60% completion rate, alongside improvements to pedestrian walkways and shop signage.
