The New Urban Communities Authority (Arabic: هيئة المجتمعات العمرانية الجديدة) is an Egyptian state owned enterprise (SOE) established in 1979 and affiliated to the Ministry of Housing.[1] It is the exclusive satellite city developer in Egypt, in addition to being Egypt's largest real estate developer and constructor of residential units.[2] These activities resulted in revenue of LE 57bn in FY 2019/2020, making it the third largest SOE after petroleum and the Suez Canal.[2]
NUCA was originally tasked with addressing housing issues in Egypt by developing new urban communities to redistribute the population of existing cities away from Egypt's Nile valley and delta, and into the desert in order to save agricultural land from being urbanized.[1] But after four decades of working under a strict policy of desert development, NUCA's mandate was modified in 2018 allowing it to develop land and real estate projects on agricultural land and within existing cities.[3]
Since 1979, NUCA's main role is master developer of the 2.3 million feddans (acres) of state-owned land assigned to it over the years, subdividing it and laying trunk infrastructure, as well as constructing water and wastewater treatment plants, buildings for public schools, hospitals and government agencies. Through its city development agencies (jihaz tanmiyat al-madina), it sells land parcels to individuals and real estate developers for residential and other purposes.[4]
NUCA is also the regulator of the new urban communities under its jurisdiction. Its chairman, the Minister of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities issues planning permits and oversees the communities, while the appointed city agency heads issue building permits and run the day-to-day affairs of functioning towns, as the new urban communities do not fall under regular local administration.[5] Its headquarters are in Sheikh Zayed City in Greater Cairo.
