Abstract

The Belgian Baron Empain established “Heliopolis" neighborhood, and it houses the palace known by his name “Baron's Palace". Since the eighties, urban expansions and new cities spread east of Cairo on both sides of the Suez Road, which gave these new cities a strategic location between the capital and the port of Suez. Recently the Egyptian government is rehabilitating road networks to accommodate the movement of vehicles from the new cities east of Cairo to easily integrate them into Cairo itself.
The aim of the research is to identify physical/non-physical dimensions of the road networks rehabilitation which affecting the urban quality of life. The research methodology relies on an inductive approach to acknowledge the concept of Rehabilitation, Egypt's vision 2030, human needs and satisfaction versus the Quality of Life (QoL) and the relationship between dimensions of quality of life and urban quality of life (QoL) for community individuals. It also applied an analytical method in the study to conduct residents' views before and after road networks rehabilitation in order to know the effect of the rehabilitation of road networks on the urban quality of life.
Finally, the research concluded by set of results determining the impact of road networks rehabilitation on each dimension of urban quality of life. To achieve mobility urban QoL sufficiently, the expansion of road must not be on urban elements or urban spaces, and the concept of mobility should include all types of vehicles and pedestrians.
