  • Egypt has a growth problem, Jahd Khalil writes in City Metric. Khalil says in the longer term, “Egypt may need to learn to break with thousands of years of tradition, and start growing horizontally – east to west, rather than north to south along the Nile. If it can’t, Egypt’s burgeoning cities will choke the fertile farmland of the Nile on which its heritage was built.”
