For the past 20 years we have been waiting for the Al Tahrir square underground parking project losing hope and getting used to the ugly chaotic scene of the square.
An email from dear friends in Europe introduced me to the German Wohr Parking system and I was wondering why not to implement its Wohr multiparker 730 project at Al Tahrir square !!?? I find it suitable considering it was implemented before in Budapest near from an old church down town with its old streets !!??
If our regime is good at wasting our money , why not wasting it in a very useful project for real !!??
ya Z, even at Jordan which doesn't have parking problems like ours , will built one.

I really like your blog, your observations are very accurate...
ReplyDeletehaving a parking like that in Egypt with all the high tech, hydrolics, electronics will be very expensive and a nightmare to maintain. Who is going to repair and troubleshoot if anything goes wrong? You need a highly trained engineer who will be underpaid. My guess a private company needs to be in charge and they will do it only if they know they can make a profit. Digging a big hole in tahrir square is another big challenge. but if they did the underground metro, an underground garage is not impossbile.
ReplyDeleteThere is a Japanese system that hangs the cars from gondolas in a chain-and-sprocket assembly. It looks lower tech than the German one.
