Cairo
Governor Dr. Ibrahim Saber conducted an inspection tour of the area surrounding
the Safaa Hegazi Metro Station to follow up on the initiative launched by the
Cairo governorate in collaboration with the Zamalek Association for
Development. This initiative aims to plant trees in Sedqi Square, located in
Zamalek.
The governor was
accompanied by Deputy Cairo Governor Ibrahim Abdel Hadi, several officials of
the Cairo governorate, and members of the Zamalek Association for Development.
During the tour, Governor
Saber said the governorate aims to increase its green spaces while preserving
existing plants and trees to enhance air quality and the quality of life for
citizens, as this is a top priority for the Egyptian state.
Moreover, Saber
praised the role of civil society organizations, emphasizing that they are
active partners in the ongoing development of Cairo. He added that the key to
success in local administration lies in the ability to foster cooperation
between executive bodies and civil society.
Saber also said the
governorate welcomes any ideas that contribute to enhancing the quality of life
for the citizens. He added that selecting trees requiring minimal amounts of
water has been considered to preserve the metro structure.
Saber further said
the initiative will be completed by planting trees along Ismail Mohammad Street
in collaboration with the Zamalek Development Association and Cairo’s General
Authority for Cleanliness, Beautification, and Lighting.
