He explained that the goal of the project is community development, supporting youth, and improving the quality of life for a large number of residents in slum areas.

He also praised the efforts of the young participants in the project, noting that a large number of them received awards in various fields, confirming the project’s success in developing the local community.

Asmarat City

Asmarat City is a modern residential complex located on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, developed as part of a national initiative to relocate residents from unsafe slum areas, particularly the “Manshiyet Nasser” garbage collector community. Construction began in 2016, with the first phase completed in 2018, providing thousands of families with improved housing, schools, and healthcare facilities. The project reflects Egypt’s efforts to address urban poverty and upgrade informal settlements.

UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities

The UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities is an international network established by UNESCO in 2012 to promote lifelong learning and sustainable development within urban communities. It connects cities worldwide that actively foster inclusive education, from early childhood to adulthood, as a key strategy for addressing social, economic, and environmental challenges. By sharing best practices and policy insights, the network helps member cities build resilient, equitable, and knowledge-driven societies.
