The Cairo Arcology is a massive manmade structure in Cairo only partially visited in Deus Ex: Invisible War. An Arcology (derived from from Architecture and Ecology) is a theoretical superstructure several hundred meters high and multiple square kilometers wide. This structure would be able to comfortably house large buildings and entire environments within itself, and could provide a comfortable home to populations exceeding tens of thousands of people without requiring any outside assistance or expelling any sort of waste. This Arcology was most likely produced with Carbon Nanotubes and Nanoformers, or some other thin yet extremely resilient material, as other building materials are simply not tough or thin enough to build a structure the size of an Arcology.

  • The Cairo Arcology is a massive manmade structure in Cairo only partially visited in Deus Ex: Invisible War. An Arcology (derived from from Architecture and Ecology) is a theoretical superstructure several hundred meters high and multiple square kilometers wide. This structure would be able to comfortably house large buildings and entire environments within itself, and could provide a comfortable home to populations exceeding tens of thousands of people without requiring any outside assistance or expelling any sort of waste. This Arcology was most likely produced with Carbon Nanotubes and Nanoformers, or some other thin yet extremely resilient material, as other building materials are simply not tough or thin enough to build a structure the size of an Arcology. In Invisible War, the Arcology is owned by the WTO, so its residents enjoy "The highest standard of living in the World" at the cost of a regulated economy and high taxes. Much like in Seattle, the two halves of Cairo represent a parallel between the upper and lower class; Old Cairo is predominantly low income with almost no Law enforcement, so crime runs rampant. Most Significantly, Old Cairo suffers from Nanite Swell 11, which gives residents the Gray Death nanovirus. Residents have created several "cures", ranging from respirators to miracle sodas, but most still try to enter the Arcology for their own safety, such as Mina Ameer. There are two known entrances to the Arcology, one inside the Order Mosque and another underneath the Free Helipad in the Medina. The Knights Templar have an abnormally strong presence among both the residents of the Medina and the Arcology's SSC forces. On the player's Second visit to the Arcology, it has been taken over by the Templars, and the Hallways of the Arcology are now patrolled by armed Templar Paladins and Templar V68A power armor.
