New Cairo (Arabic: New Cairo el-Qāhera el-Gedīda) is a satellite city within the metropolitan area of Cairo, Egypt. Administratively, it is part of the Eastern Area of Cairo,[2] administered by the New Urban Communities Authority.[3] The city was established in 2000 by merging three ‘new’ towns (The First, Third and Fifth Settlements, translit. Al-Tagammu’ al-awwal, al-thalith, al-khames, Arabic: First, Third and Fifth Settlements),[4 ] originally on an area of about 67,000 acres which had grown to 85,000 acres by 2016
According to the 2017 census, New Cairo’s three qisms (Qahira al-Gadida Awwal, Thani, Thalith) had a combined population of 297,387 residents (also see population section below).[5][6] This is in stark contrast to the New Urban Communities Authority’s (NUCA) undated population estimate of 1.5 million inhabitants and a target population of 4 million inhabitants.[7] However, the same source contradicts this claim where it states 70,000 homes as built,[7] leading to an impossibly high average of 21 people per home. The lower population figure translates into a more realistic 4 people per home
