Egypt's $60B Ghost City Had 3 Residents

They call it the New Administrative Capital. Forty miles east of Cairo, gleaming towers stretch into desert sky like a mirage made concrete. I walked empty boulevards designed for millions. Traffic lights cycled through colors for phantom cars. Luxury malls echoed with my footsteps and security guards' whispers. The government moved here in 2023. Most ministries sit vacant. I counted three actual residents in a city built for 6.5 million people. Coffee shops with no customers. Apartment blocks with no lights. The world's most expensive ghost town, funded by loans Egypt can't afford. It felt like walking through someone else's abandoned dream—or a warning about what happens when vision meets reality. 🏗️ #GhostCities #UrbanPlanning #EgyptTravel #Travel

Micromobility Isn't A Problem In Cities, It's A Solution! 🚴

E-bikes and electric scooters are becoming more popular in our cities and for good reason. They are affordable, efficient, and way better for dense urban environments than big cars. But a lot of people see roads as being for cars only. This is creating a challenge for lawmakers as new faster e-bikes are pushing the boundaries of our laws. The biggest issue is mixing slow traditional bikes with fast e-bikes and even faster cars. Data shows that car drivers are willing to switch to micromobility if they feel safe. A great solution seems to be sacrificing some car lanes for a high speed bike lane. It would solve the problem of co-mingling and make everyone safer. They already do this in some places and it has been a huge success. Giving up car lanes for bikes would get more people riding. It would also help to naturally limit carbon emissions. As a cycling enthusiast, I'm all for these changes anyway 😎 #Micromobility #UrbanPlanning #TrafficLaws #Ebikes #ElectricScooters #CityLife #Transportation #Environment #Discussion
