15th of May (Arabic: مدينة 15 مايو) is a new urban community and a satellite city of Cairo, Egypt, located to the south of it.
[5] The name "15th of May City" was chosen to commemorate the Corrective Revolution (launched as the "Corrective Movement"), a reform program (officially just a change in policy) launched on 15 May 1971 by President Anwar Sadat.
The revolution involved purging Nasserist officials and security forces deemed pro-Soviet and left-wing, while garnering popular support by framing the takeover as a continuation of the Egyptian Revolution of 1952.
However, Sadat's Corrective Revolution also marked a significant shift in foreign policy, economy, and ideology, and included the imprisonment of political opponents in Egypt, including liberals and Islamists.
The 15th of May is a new satellite city located in the southern area of Greater Cairo,[2] and is administered by the New Urban Communities Authority.
