Badya October, a visionary development by Palm Hills, introduces a groundbreaking lifestyle concept, designed to accommodate an estimated 153,000 residents.
A Unique Concept of Living
Spanning an expansive 3,000 acres, Badya is strategically located between East and West Cairo. It goes beyond being a sustainable residential compound, offering a holistic and distinctive living experience. The city currently comprises two phases: the ZOE extension and DAE Badya.
The Philosophy of the 3 C's
Badya is built on the principles of being Conscious, Cognitive, and Connected:
- Conscious (Green City): Badya integrates sustainable practices, reducing electricity and water usage, operational costs, waste production, and building energy demand by 30%. It generates 30% of its energy through renewable sources, utilizing solar panels to minimize on-site energy use.
- Cognitive (Smart City): Leveraging advanced technologies and AI, Badya offers innovative features like facial recognition and smart security systems, enhancing convenience and safety.
- Connected (Convenient City): Designed for accessibility, Badya boasts a central location linking Cairo's destinations. Internally, its green spine and interconnected pathways ensure residents are always within three minutes of usable green spaces, reducing traffic and improving air quality. The city follows the 5-10-15 principle: daily needs are within 5 minutes, weekly errands 10 minutes, and monthly needs 15 minutes away.
