Egypt has launched what developers describe as the country’s first fully artificial‑intelligence‑powered “cognitive city,” a major new urban development east of Cairo pitched as a global investment hub and described by its developer as an unprecedented step in smart urban development.
The project, known as “The Spine,” was unveiled over the weekend by Talaat Moustafa Group (TMG) at an event attended by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly at the Cabinet headquarters in the New Administrative Capital, according to a company statement.
Developers say the project will serve as a major international business hub and could contribute about one percent of Egypt’s gross domestic product once operational.

About 1.5 square miles. Not a very big area.
