The Green Belt project aims to introduce green spaces around the Ring Road of Greater Cairo and contribute to protecting the environment from pollution by intensifying the spread of greenery to mitigate the effects of vital variables harmful to the health of the population and investing the spaces around Greater Cairo in planting trees to achieve a strong economic return from trees that can be planted. And protect citizens from contracting chest diseases and allergies, and benefit from treated wastewater.
The area to be planted and cultivated is 100 km long and 25 meters wide, and this is done in four phases, the first includes 50 km in Cairo Governorate, 28 km in Giza Governorate, 22 km in Qalyubia Governorate, and the second phase, and includes crossroads intersecting with the Ring Road 25 metres in depth on both sides of the road. It will utilise the drainage channels currently found at each side of the ring road.
