Taking leave, An International Competition “Egyptian's Dream City"” Writing the History of our Future New thought requires taking leave of the old and building anew; hence Akhenaton’s Tel Amarna, or the establishment of Christian Constantinople or the hijra from Mecca to Medina. After the 25 January revolution, it is no longer possible for Egypt to work and grow within the old valley and leave (95%) of its area unutilized. The desert is our Noah’s Ark and it is where we will build a history for our future.
Futuristic ideas and developmental initiatives (building civilizations) will not at this stage resolve the issue of Egypt’s future. What is needed is a new generation (builders of civilization) that takes responsibility for the future. This will only happen through education, scientific research, technical knowledge base and new unconventional thought that relies on integration, democracy, dialogue, community participation.
