Urban Quality of Life, Reformation Project, Dimensions to Perceive Urban SpacesAbstract
Large-scale urban renewal initiatives are undertaken by governments in cities under pressure to improve residents' quality of life (QoL) and mitigate economic and environmental issues. In 2019, as a part of the Egypt 2030 vision, the government initiated a road network reformation project to solve mobility issues in the districts linking the east and west of Cairo, including Nasr City District. To investigate if the built environment of Nasr City District still meets residents' satisfaction, this research is being undertaken to examine residents' satisfaction with the reformation project, which had an impact on their QoL.
