DUNNE, MICHELE
- Abstract
The article explores the implications of the smart city or green zone that is being built in Egypt, tentatively named Wedian, under the administration of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Topics discussed are the symbol of Wedian as a representation of the rebuilding of a wall of fear separating citizens from the state, function of the army as the command and control center and gatekeepers of the economy, and policy of President el-Sisi to block any political resistance.
