Vita-miliore fishermen park

24 / 01 / 2026

Vita Milogore Fishermen’s Park is a project located in El Max, Alexandria, aimed at achieving socio-economic and climate-change resilience. The project spans 30 feddans of landscaped area and is organized into four primary zones, each contributing to the project’s overall resilience strategy.

The project achieves socio-economic resilience by providing a diverse mix of functions arranged to ensure stable, year-round income rather than seasonal revenue. It also enhances resilience to climate change through integrated landscape solutions that leverage climate conditions rather than being adversely affected by them.

Project Solutions

Elevation By Retaining

Rain Garden

Floating By Pillars

Vegetated Berm

Floating By Floatation billets

Raising the harbor walk above Sea Level Rise+ Safety Height +

1% annual chance Flood.

It is a type of Rain Harvesting .

It is done by creating a depression in the ground which (capture-slow-soak-filter) Rain Water.

Plants can be planted to help filter & add biodiversity.

Building & Platforms is made on pillars

The height of the pillar is equal to Sea-Level rise + safety distance + 1% annual chance flood.

Building made on concrete structures expanded with polyester .

They act like giant buoys that keep the structure stable & minimize collapsing hazards

Flooding water goes on the vegetated berm but doesn't enter the site, some water is absorbed for irrigation.

Halophytes plants are planted for the vegetated berm which can tolerate salts and live submerged underwater or partially submerged . or totally un-submerged in water.

Socio-Economic Resilience is achieved by creating a project that would provide job opportunities all season. This achieved by creating

facilities that would people skills to provide them with opportunities & clients, residents & employees.
