Cairo – Mubasher: The Administrative Capital for Urban Development (ACUD) has signed an agreement with the US’ Honeywell to develop public safety and security infrastructure in Egypt’s new capital.
The North Carolina-based company will install security and surveillance systems in the Administrative Capital, according to a company statement released on Thursday.
“We believe that a smart city is a safe city, and are proud to be collaborating with ACUD and MTI on this vital critical infrastructure project, which will ultimately lead to a smarter, safer, and more prosperous Egypt,” Honeywell’s president for Egypt and Libya, Khaled Hashem, commented.
Located 45 kilometres east of Cairo, the New Administrative Capital is planned to be built in three phases and will cover over 700 square kilometres upon completion.
ACUD’s chairman Ahmed Zaki Abdeen said: “The new administrative capital will redefine smart living and enable a competitive and diversified economy in line with the national development objectives outlined by Egypt Vision 2030.”
