Tatweer Misr, a leading real estate development company, has announced the signing of a sponsorship agreement for the 12th World Urban Forum (WUF12) as an official sponsor of the event, Invest-Gate reports.
Scheduled to take place in Cairo from November 4 to 8 under the patronage of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, this forum stands as a crucial global event within the United Nations’ urbanization and sustainable urban development agenda.
Egypt marks the first African host in 20 years, with the theme “It all starts at home; local actions for sustainable cities and communities.”
Tatweer Misr’s enthusiastic participation in this forum is driven by its prominent position in the real estate development sector. Over a decade ago, the company entered the local market, achieving significant successes and setting a distinguished benchmark in development approaches.
From selecting project locations to embracing global designs that cater to customer needs and anticipate future trends, the company prioritizes environmental preservation, sustainability standards, and international collaboration to enhance project quality and uniqueness.
Dr. Ahmed Shalaby, CEO and Managing Director of Tatweer Misr, has been invited to engage in various discussion sessions at WUF12. Notably, he will deliver an opening speech representing the Egyptian private sector in a roundtable focusing on the significance of partnerships between private sector entities and institutions to foster sustainable growth in urban development. This session will involve participation from diverse business organizations and international and local institutions.
Additionally, Dr. Shalaby will feature in a discussion organized by the American University in Cairo (AUC) in conjunction with the United Nations Human Settlements Program (UN-Habitat) on the theme “Exploring Proximity for the Future of Urban and Regional Development.” Here, he will delve into the “Bloomfields” project—an integrated urban community—emphasizing how the principle of proximity has enhanced inclusive governance.
