Abstract

The Quality of urban mobility is rapidly declining in our country and most of the developing world. This reflects on the quality of urban life in Egyptian cities and all of its aspects like social life or economic improvements. Issues like complete motorization that is incompatible with our existing urban structures, constant traffic congestions, accidents, need for public transportation and neglecting the necessity of pedestrian networks in the face of commercial use and illegal violations are issues that indicate that our perspective for urban mobility should change. Developing countries are in desperate need of new techniques to elevate the quality of their urban mobility to convoy the rapid population increase where cities need to grow and expand therefore a more efficient and more evolved urban mobility system is needed. While taking in consideration the culture and personal needs of the Egyptian urban community toward better quality of urban life through mobility. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the physical and non physical aspects of urban mobility and ways to improve and elevate this urban element in an integrated concept to better the lives of people specially in residential neighbourhoods.
