Abstract

The paths of pedestrian traffic within the urban blocks are one of the most important elements that make better connections, facilitate life and enhance its quality. There are planning and design criteria for those tracks. When we analyze pedestrian traffic in one of the distinctive cities, and the prices of buildings and land which are the highest on the level of the old neighborhoods in Cairo and new cities, we find clear deficiencies in the planning and designs of the paths and also in their implementation and maintenance. There is no separation of these paths from automotive movement; they are only parallel pavements with inappropriate widths, all of which have been attacked by the residents. After the review of the design of the pedestrian paths of the new residential communities in New Cairo, the diversity of these paths connecting all the elements of the residential group is clear, with complete separation from the automotive movement that has parking places allocated for it. Thus, it was possible to communicate with the green spaces between the blocks in a wonderful way that allows everyone and especially children to move freely and safely. The research includes the conceptualization of these ideas to separate the automotive paths from pedestrian paths in the residential groups in the new cities, supporting the pedestrian movement, rationalization of energy, and the organization of the external spaces in a way that helps achieve a high quality of life.
