Abstract

Egypt's historic urban areas face new challenges in recent times, such as the loss of its rich architectural and urban heritage due to the adverse effects of the unsustainable transportation system, particularly private vehicles. This research attempts to diagnose vehicle problems in historic urban areas, and explain the importance of cycling and walkability in realization of policies to revive historic areas. This can be done through the development of guidelines and general indicators by some urban theorists and planners to assess the efficiency of cycling and the ability to walk in historic areas (Al-Galaa Street, Damietta City) as a case study and to make some adjustments to enhance walkability and cycling to save historic urban areas from the harmful effects of vehicles and encourage the residents to choose cycling and walkability over driving. The paper seeks to draw a theoretical approach that demonstrates the importance of cycling and walkability in the realization of policies to revive historical areas and propose recommendations that increase the efficiency of cycling training plans and walkability and to achieve a healthy and sustainable society
