In a prestigious recognition of excellence, ACUD has been awarded the 2024 'Excellence in Urban Planning and Development in Egypt' at the esteemed Global Brand Awards. This accolade, presented by Global Brands Magazine (GBM) in the UK, emphasizes their significant contributions to urban development in Egypt.
ACUD, the Administrative Capital for Urban Development, has been instrumental in transforming Egypt's urban landscape. Their innovative and sustainable approaches have not only improved living conditions but also stimulated economic growth in the region. Jay Reddy, CEO of Global Brands Magazine, expressed his enthusiasm about this honor, stating, 'We are thrilled to honor ACUD with the Excellence in Urban Planning and Development award. Their visionary approach and dedication to creating sustainable, innovative urban spaces set a benchmark for the industry.'
ACUD's Chairman and Managing Director, Khaled M. Abbas, remarked, 'This prestigious award underscores ACUD's pivotal role in shaping the future of urban planning. We are honored to lead the way in creating a world-class capital that embodies Egypt's grand ambitions and vision for a modern, smart, and sustainable city.' This recognition not only validates ACUD's hard work but also reinforces their commitment to setting new standards in urban development.
The New Administrative Capital, located 60 km east of Cairo, is a remarkable venture covering an area of approximately 230,000 feddans. The city is designed to accommodate up to 8.5 million residents, thereby alleviating congestion in Cairo and addressing rapid population growth. This ambitious project is instrumental in reinforcing and diversifying the country's economic potential by establishing new living, working, and recreational spaces.
To draw residents to this new capital city, numerous key developments will be introduced. These include a modern government administrative district, a cultural hub, and various urban neighborhoods. Each of these developments aims to create vibrant communities that not only meet the needs of their residents but also promote a sense of identity and belonging.
The Global Brand Awards celebrate outstanding achievements in various sectors, serving as a platform to acknowledge organizations excelling in their fields. They recognize the hard work, innovation, and dedication exhibited by brands that provide exceptional services and products. GBM has over 10 million visitors monthly, making it a significant voice in the branding landscape.
As plans forge ahead for the New Administrative Capital, ACUD remains dedicated to promoting sustainable urban living. Their projects not only reflect modernity and functionality but are also aligned with global standards of urban planning, showcasing a commitment to enhancing quality of life.
With this award, ACUD has successfully positioned itself as a leader in urban development, inspiring other organizations to follow in their footsteps and prioritize sustainable growth in cities. The future is bright for ACUD, as they continue to innovate and redefine urban living in Egypt. The award is a testament to their vision and execution in not just building infrastructure, but an entire community that thrives on forward-thinking concepts.
As the highly anticipated Global Brand Awards ceremony approaches, scheduled for June 2025 at the Grand Hyatt in Dubai, the spotlight will undoubtedly be on ACUD and their remarkable achievements. Their journey symbolizes more than just an award; it epitomizes the future of urban excellence in Egypt and the role of visionary companies in achieving sustainability and growth.
