Abstract

This research aims to study the Regional Ring Road's impact on the process of urban development of the Greater Cairo region in Egypt. Roads are one of the most important factors of urban development, as construction of which may result in several positive and negative changes. The research follows the descriptive, analytical, and comparative approaches, by shedding the light on both concepts of regional ring roads and urban development and studying the elements related to them (Accessibility-Land usages-Traffic problems). Moreover, in order to emphasize the pivotal role of the roads in developing urban communities, despite the presence of some negative effects resulting from them, the research discusses the analysis of two global megaprojects (M25 in London & Sydney). In addition, the research discusses a local project (the ring road surrounding the Greater Cairo region), while comparing the former with the Egyptian experience to benefit from such comparison. The research will be divided into three parts; A: the relevant general theoretical concepts. B: presenting global and local experiences. C: a study of the Egyptian experience while discussing the changes related to roads before & after construction and their effects on the urban environment surrounding the Greater Cairo Region. These effects are for example, but not limited to; (congestion and traffic problems in the Greater Cairo, change of utilizing areas surrounding the road and the creation of new uses, roads role in achieving the connection between the Greater Cairo Region and the rest of the seven regions of Egypt). Furthermore, the research is proposing some suggestions to reduce the negative effects of roads construction.
