Abstract
Mobility is one of the main factors to promote the quality of life for the citizens; a low level of mobility is generally leading to a low quality of life, as it may become a barrier to satisfaction of basic needs and participation in social life. The paper focuses on identifying the urban quality of life, the relevance of its mobility urban quality of life concept and studying the indicators of mobility. Moreover, the paper investigates Al-Rehab City as one of new communities in Cairo' to identify variables of street connectivity and determine the relationship between land use and mobility by applying Space Syntax.
The paper aims to prove the impact of multi modal, walkable and effective transport system in improving the quality of life and encouraging citizens to move to new cities, which leads to achieve the Expected population capacity in Egyptian new cities.
Finally, the paper is concluding with concrete results in the measurement of quality of life features in Al-Rehab city that concerning the mobility dimension, accessibility, pedestrian catchment area and connectivity. Also, using space syntax techniques can verify these features which will contribute to the establishment of sustainable residential areas.
