Abstract
Sustainable urban mobility aims to encourage movement behavior that reduce automobile dependency and induce non-automobile and public mobility. As cities continue to change, planners are facing the challenge of designing urban mobility systems that are sustainable on social, economic, and ecological levels. They aim to reduce transportation energy consumption; increase social interaction between residents; and increase subsidiary effects of side path through movement. There is a growing calls for planners to shift paradigm of urban mobility to enable economic activity, social connectivity, and ecology. Movement behavior is influenced by different factors, part of them due to socioeconomic variables, others due to urban form. Some neighborhoods seem to support alternative modes of movement of non-motorized or public motorized as feasible mobility solutions and meet resident's expectations and accordingly reduce the need for high level of motor vehicle ownership; Where other neighborhoods don't and encourages residents to depend on private alternatives accordingly increase fuel consumption, cost, and environmental pollution. Based on a case study of six neighborhoods that represent chronological development of neighborhood types in greater Cairo region, this research provides an understanding of how urban mobility was influenced by neighborhoods urban patterns. This research suggests that some specific neighborhood features can efficiently influence people mobility, demand and travel behavior than others, accordingly enhance achieving sustainable urban mobility and overall sustainability of development.
