About Badya
Overview of Badya
Badya October, developed by Palm Hills Development, introduces a novel and unique lifestyle concept. It is designed to accommodate approximately 153,000 residents.
Badya is more than just a centrally located, green, sustainable residential compound. It offers a distinctive living experience, spanning 3000 acres between East and West Cairo. The city currently includes two phases: the ZOE extension and DAE Badya.
Badya is built on the philosophy of the 3 C’s: Conscious (Green City), Cognitive (Safe and Smart), and Connected (Convenient).
Conscious (Green City): Badya is committed to sustainability, aiming to reduce electricity and water usage by 30%, operational costs by 20%, waste production by 30%, and building energy demand by 30%. It also plans to generate 30% of its energy from renewable sources, utilizing solar panels to harness and redistribute solar energy, thereby minimizing on-site energy use by 30%.
Cognitive (Safe and Smart): Badya is a smart city that leverages the latest technologies and artificial intelligence to enhance the living experience. This includes AI-driven security systems and features like facial recognition technology.
Connected (Convenient): Badya is easily accessible both externally and internally. Externally, it is strategically located to connect various city destinations. Internally, it features a green spine and main pathway, ensuring usable green spaces are always within a 3-minute walk. This design reduces motorized traffic, improving air quality. Additionally, Badya follows the 5-10-15 principle: residents are 5 minutes from daily needs, 10 minutes from weekly errands, and 15 minutes from monthly needs.
Badya is a truly captivating project in every aspect.
