Three private primary mixed-sex schools; one in each of Dokki, Madinet Nasr and the 6th of October districts participated. A parents{u2019} questionnaire, and an urban survey were the methods of the study in each of the schools to compare real and perceived environments. Results showed that active school travel is much less practiced in new cities than in the inner city districts; 35.3% in Dokki, 40.9% in Madinet Nasr and 12.5% in October. Factors affecting this physical activity were unveiled, suggesting some policies and interventions for pedestrian-friendly neighbourhoods UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
