​

The City of Badya was conceived based on four important pillars:

​

1. Connectivity

Next to Cairo, the City of Badya marks the centre of the biggest urban development in the near Egyptian future, linking up to numerous surrounding points of interest. The wide expansion of the road network supplemented by a monorail path, high-speed trains and a dense mesh of bus routes guarantees connectivity on all levels. The same applies to Badya itself; a well-planned infrastructure provides you with the best options to choose from. Built with the 5-10-15 Urban Planning Rule in mind, where you are only five minutes away from your daily needs, ten minutes away from your weekly needs and fifteen minutes away from monthly needs. Badya features highly accessible pedestrian zones, easily attainable from every residential neighbourhood. Central routes will feature high quality outdoor shopping outlets of various kinds.

 

2. Cognition

Badya is a truly cognitive city, created in partnership with IBM, that will open doors, paths and eyes to an ease we can only imagine. It will be the first of its kind in Africa and the Middle East. Badya is a city that is truly alive and adapts to suit its residents and serve them better every day.

3. Sustainability

Badya is the first city in the Middle East and North Africa to be in full compliance with the UN sustainability goals. At least 95% of residents will be a pleasant two-minute stroll away from the green parks filled with vibrant botanical life and water elements. Neighbourhoods will be interweaved with pathways to promote walking and cycling in safe, breathable atmospheres. Almost all residents will be just three minutes from neighbourhood squares, which are communal gardens speckled along the way bringing the entire community together. Central plazas promoting less motorised transport will highlight the centre of each residential block and will be interlocked with scenic bike lanes and footpaths to the many others throughout the splendour of Badya. Every destination can be reached easily by public transport, car, or bike.

Within certain public gardens will be a sprinkling of private sports clubs geared to embellish athletic pursuits by amplifying breathing room and enhancing the view. Cycling, jogging, tennis, swimming, skateboarding, and horse riding will all be made available. Specialised vegetation will provide crisp air corridors and enable a year-round ventilation coupled with patches of shade. Benches, seat decks, large scaled city furniture, water works, shading structures and planting areas will provide ample comfort along the way in the Badya community. The green courtyards in Badya offer a natural environment right at your window for you and your family to enjoy.

With noise reduction reduced, dust protection increased and waste management optimised, residential neighbourhoods will enjoy the sweet scented, serenity of their protected privacy like never before with 40% renewable energy powering the city.

 

4. Culture

Badya has been created with the premise of enriching culture and exposing a more art-of-lifestyle mode of living. Internationally accredited universities, design schools and nurseries, luxury sports clubs and championship venues, green office spaces and cutting-edge administration buildings, urban residential units and inspired landscaping all interconnected, interweaved and interchangeable in the comforting convenience of one, creative place.

Open-air venues for retail, art, theatre, cinema and performance will be designated as will galleries, cafes, restaurants and a booming nightlife. Business will be conducted in parks and get-togethers out of this world. Focusing on what builds the future, the central district, a start-up hub (Badya Work), where all fresh new entrepreneurial ideas and suggestions are welcome. Along with this, Badya introduces a branded courtyard by great talented Egyptian designers. Badya will turn the page to a new chapter in Egyptian arts and culture, while introducing a whole new world of creative fancies to who call it home.

When buying a new home in Badya, it is not simply the purchase of a property or a community. It is not just an investment in the future. It is indeed a step in to a new realm of being.
