Urban Mobility and Land Use are main challenges facing urban communities nowadays, together with the urge to always improve the quality of life of the communities’ residents in line with the increasing pace of urban expansion all over the world. In the recent decades, the dispersed pattern of land use, deterioration of public transportation, and excessive car dependency have been evident in most of the developing countries, thus in Egypt. This in turn affects the different environmental,social, and economic pillars of the quality of life in these communities and demands alternatives to be able to balance that trend. This study focuses on the integration between land use and urban mobility in one of Egypt’s urban communities, El-Sheikh Zayed city. The city has been chosen as a local case study to discuss the applicability of applying the Transport-oriented development (TOD) principles and standards in the Egyptian context as an approach to improve the status of land use and urban mobility patterns, hence the quality of life of urban communities. Challenges and potentials were identified, and recommendations for ElSheikh Zayed city and similar urban communities in Egypt and beyond were suggested.
