Cairo: Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly stressed the important role played by the National Center for Planning State Land Uses in supporting the state's efforts to develop integrated land-use plans and maximize the use of its resources and assets in line with national development plans and priorities.

According to State Information Service Egypt, Madbouly highlighted that the center's work contributes to ensuring the best possible use of available land and directing it toward the most economically and developmentally appropriate uses and activities. The remarks were made during a meeting held on Monday, September 14, 2026, at the government headquarters in the New Administrative Capital to follow up on the work files of the National Center for Planning State Land Uses.

The meeting was attended by Lt. Gen. Nasser Fawzy, director of the center, and Lt. Gen. Mohamed Radwan, deputy director. During the meeting, Fawzy reviewed a number of issues currently under study at the center as part of efforts to restructure certain areas and plan for their redevelopment and reuse in a manner that ensures optimal land use and maximizes returns from their utilization.

Fawzy noted that the center is studying existing developments and activities in four industrial areas in Sharqia Governorate, covering a combined area of more than 5,274 feddans. The areas include Al-Madina Al-Monawara, Arab Engineers Association, Belbeis Expansions, and Abu Atian. The studies aim to develop an integrated vision for the proposed uses of these areas, ensuring diversity and complementarity among industrial, logistics, agricultural, service, recreational, religious, residential, and administrative activities, as well as other uses suited to the nature and needs of each area.

The director emphasized that the plans are intended to support development and investment efforts and create jobs. In this regard, Fawzy presented the targeted economic vision for the four areas following the replanning of their land uses, including their potential contribution to increasing investment, expanding productive activities, and creating jobs.

Additionally, the meeting reviewed the findings and indicators of a study on the use of reclaimed land, as well as plans prepared to repurpose such land for sustainable development and production projects. The plans aim to maximize returns from reclaimed assets and land and ensure their optimal use in line with the state's development plans and priorities.

Prime Minister Madbouly directed the continued completion of studies and plans for land replanning and reuse projects, as well as ongoing coordination with the relevant authorities to ensure the swift finalization of targeted uses. He also instructed that the findings of the studies be translated into actual projects that generate economic and development returns, with regular follow-up on the implementation status of these files.
