Cairo, home to 20 million people, is bursting at the seams. By 2050, its population could double. To tackle this, Egypt began building a futuristic New Administrative Capital in 2015 —and Amr Mohamed Shaaban, a local civil engineer, is helping shape its skyline with China Construction First Group.
The project's two sleek office towers (C07 and C08) are more than concrete and glass. For Amr, they symbolize Egypt-China collaboration under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Launched in 2013, BRI has fueled partnerships in infrastructure and tech, creating opportunities for global talent like him.
“This city will ease Cairo’s traffic chaos and attract investors,” Amr explains. Located 50 km east of old Cairo, the new capital aims to boost economic growth near the Suez Canal and Red Sea—key zones for trade and innovation.
Amr’s story mirrors a trend: more professionals worldwide are joining Chinese firms, drawn by transformative projects. From desert to metropolis, this “New Cairo” isn’t just about buildings—it’s building bridges between cultures.
