Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Engineering - Department of Architectural Engineering Summary: Creating walkable environments is acknowledged for its importance for health, environment, and economy. There have been considerable interventions towards sustainable urban mobility worldwide. On the other hand, increasing networks of urban roads and sub-urban sprawl trends are highly encouraged in Egypt, while walking has been given minimal consideration in urban planning and investments. This has created hostile environments for pedestrians particularly in new cities where walking act as gap filler, not by design or choice, but for the lack of adequate public transport. The research aimed at examining how walking can fill the gap of service in new cities as well as examining how the "GIS-based walkability index" developed by Frank et al. (2005; 2006; 2010) can assess walkability in the contexts of new cities in Egypt, in addition to exploring the areas where priority for enhancement and redevelopment of the built environment should be given.
