Abstract New cities are intentionally planned areas beyond the boundaries of an established metropolitan region that are intended for urban growth. Usually, they are designed and built to handle population expansion in order to meet metropolitan primacy. However, the accelerated growth of cities has given rise to challenges regarding their street infrastructure. In order to mitigate the negative effects on metropolitan regions, effective control over mobility has become increasingly important as urban areas continue to expand. When discussing sustainable transportation, it is essential to consider various factors such as infrastructure, public transportation systems, delivery networks, affordability, transportation efficiency, and convenience, improvements in urban air quality and health, and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Regular commuting between established urban centers and newly developed urban areas for work and other activities has become a common practice. Urban sprawl, which leads to longer travel times and congestion, has emerged as a significant issue in developing countries. The challenge lies in enhancing accessibility for individuals while simultaneously addressing the problems faced by urban areas, including poor air quality, high traffic levels, congestion, ambient noise, substandard built environments, greenhouse gas emissions, and urban sprawl. This calls for a comprehensive understanding of Sustainable Urban Mobility as a system. The aim of this study is to examine the main variables and aspects influencing people’s mobility choices in Egypt. It focuses on the socio-demographic, psychological, and physical factors of commuting patterns and preferred transportation modes. Two Egyptian new cities, Burj Al Arab and Al Alamein, have been selected for connection and analytical investigation to determine and rank potential connections between them. A spatial statistical analysis model utilizing a Geographic Information System (GIS) has been employed for this purpose. The proposed transportation policies, based on established criteria, aim to support urban development plans that reduce reliance on private transportation. This involves expanding bus networks through improved infrastructure and logistics, creating bus networks that diminish the appeal of private vehicles through inclusive design and enhanced marketing, improving overall transportation performance, promoting electrification, and encouraging the use of electric vehicles by establishing additional infrastructure. These measures will facilitate faster distribution, enhance competitiveness in the industrial sector, and increase productivity while reducing costs and travel times. |
