15th of May City (Arabic: مدينة 15 مايو) is a 'new city' district in the Southern Area of Cairo, Egypt.[2] Its cornerstone was laid in 1978 on an area of 6400 acres, which tripled to 18,000 acres by 2017.[3] It was constructed to solve the problem of insufficient accommodation.[4] However, after almost forty years, it had only 93,574 residents according to the 2017 census.[5]
