Spatial Negative Influence of Cairo Mega Movement corridors on adjacent Local Areas Land Uses and Movement

The research is focused on discussing the importance of transportation in metropolitan areas and analyzing the positive and negative spatial impacts of the major movement corridors in Greater Cairo on the surrounding local areas. It aims to highlight the regional benefits of these corridors while also addressing the spatial challenges faced by the local areas. The study emphasizes the significance of movement circulation for pedestrians and vehicles in the urban functionality of local movement, serving as a connection between land uses and daily activities. While the mega movement corridors have significantly improved access between Greater Cairo's main districts, they have also introduced challenges at the local level. The research examines the impact of the Ain Shams corridor as an example of a new movement corridor introduced by the government in the last 5 years, in two major areas, and additionally, identifies the resulting challenges in land uses and movement circulation in these areas. The findings underscore the importance of segregating movement circulation between the regional and local levels to enhance accessibility for pedestrians and vehicles in local areas. Furthermore, the study reinforces the importance of comprehensive measures to enhance the efficiency of the corridor. Implementing solutions such as dedicated service roads, improved parking infrastructure, and optimized traffic management strategies can play a pivotal role in mitigating congestion and addressing the specific needs of local traffic. By addressing these challenges, the corridor can achieve improved functionality, accommodate the diverse traffic demands, and enhance the overall transportation experience for commuters and urban activities.
