Abstract
A sustainable “green” city outlined while thinking of the social, economic, and environmental effects. It considered energetic living space for the existing residents while considering the impact of these sites on the upcoming generations and the population growth, fulfilling the resident’s needs without ignoring the future society’s capacity to meet their needs. The continuous increase in population is imposing challenges globally, leading to urban poverty and limited resources. Having overpopulated cities leads to deficiencies in infrastructure and residents’ quality of life. Handle the city’s problems and needs, and it is necessary to organize and thoughtful, considering solving the city’s desires without distorting other vital factors of people’s living situations. This specific paper will focus on the green mobility network and its impact on Cairo’s quality of life. The Capital of Egypt. The purpose of this paper is to implement good street designs from a public space perspective. The way was to review neighborhood hierarchy, street classifications, and design. Introducing the Green Mobility Network that combines bicycles and pedestrians (Officials, C. T. (2019). Lane Width. 1–11.). Two international case studies networks were analyzed. Introducing findings and recommendations by proposing a project in Cairo’s problematic streets in Nasr city to find solutions for Cairo’s neighborhood streets will help make it more efficient and sustainable.
