> Control centres will monitor infrastructure and security electronically, roofs will be covered in solar panels, payments will be cashless
Good luck with that - a huge number of places don't even put prices up because everything is negotiable and cash is king. If they only want the kind of Western-style stores with explicit prices in this area, then this could be restated as "we don't want the poor part of our population here".
Cairo (and to larger degree, Giza) have a very intense, unique feel inside the city and I don't think this move will change anything about that.
