The Egyptian government has recently revealed details on the chosen design for the New Administrative Capital’s services area -“Oasis”- which is in the middle of a central park and service area, Invest-Gate reports.

Located at the R3 site in the new capital, the Oasis zone and services buildings will be implemented based on the most effective seven principles of the planning and design of the intelligent city, according to a statement published on Egypt’s Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS) official Facebook page.

The central park links the Oasis with the city’s 35-kilometer green river with no roadways, for the safe movement of citizens roaming around the river.

The service area is set to encompass a hospital, elderly care center, a central library, a cultural center, a shopping mall, an administrative building, schools, smart control centers, police and fire stations, as well as a mosque and a church.

In addition, the Oasis will also comprise commercial studios and apartments overlooking the central park, with areas up to 280 square meters, the statement added.

Road networks and parking lots are designed according to international standards, along with pedestrian and cycling networks around the green river and all other facilities and networks, as part of the plan to make all buildings intelligent and energy efficient via utilizing solar energy, and waste and water recycling systems.

Among 20 other new cities, the new capital has been listed a city of the fourth generation, aiming to accommodate 6.5 mn citizens and span across a 270 square meter footprint between the Nile River and the Suez Canal, east of Cairo.
