Abstract

Sustainable transportation – or green transportation – is an important field in terms of generating a healthy environment and upgrading city planning. Street design and modes of transportation are the two main factors that can affect the sustainability of city planning. This paper focuses on designing and planning an efficient, sustainable street using affordable and common modes of transportation, with an emphasis on two cities in Egypt and Lebanon as case studies.

Observing developing cities in the field of transportation planning reveals many weaknesses that have a major effect on citizens, such as traffic congestion, a shortage of pedestrian walkways or cycling paths, a lack of affordable public transportation or its sequential movement, and the new modes of informal transportation that have appeared in recent years and have affected the street transportation movement.

The aim of this paper is to analyse developing cities in terms of modes of transportation, to discover an effective method of planning city streets.

发展中城市中可负担和通用的交通方式及其对街道可持续性的影响

可持续交通或绿色交通是创造健康环境和提高城市规划水平的一个重要领域。街道设计和交通方式是影响城市规划可持续性的两个主要因素。本文以埃及和黎巴嫩的两个城市为例，重点研究如何利用经济实惠的通用交通方式，设计和规划一条高效、可持续的街道。在交通规划领域观察发展中城市，可以发现许多对市民有重大影响的弱点，如交通拥堵、缺乏人行道或自行车道、缺乏负担得起的公共交通或其连续运动，以及近年来出现的新的非正式交通方式，这些方式影响了街道交通运动。本文的目的是分析发展中城市的交通方式，以发现一种有效的城市街道规划方法。
