Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly held a press conference on Monday ahead of the opening of the 12th edition of the World Urban Forum (WUF). Since then, he has aspired for Egypt to host this forum, and today, as Prime Minister, he celebrates its realization in Cairo. However, Cairo’s selection presented a unique challenge, given its population of 22 million. Madbouly further emphasized that Cairo’s selection aligns with Egypt’s real-world initiatives that resonate with UN-Habitat’s mission to elevate urban living standards. This includes housing projects aimed at low-income groups and youth, such as the Social Housing Project, Housing for All Egyptians, and the redevelopment of informal and unsafe areas.
