Ola Mohamed Emad EL Din Bakry. An approach to Sustainable Design
of Intermodal Stations in Greater Cairo Region. Doctor of Philosophy in
Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Ain University, 2008.
Metropolitan areas in developing countries are confronted with many
traffic problems that directly affect the environment, economic
development and social welfare. Public transport can offer citizens
sustainable mobility. While designing to protect the public and the
environment, planning procedures have to favour the implementation and
improvement of public transport. Public transport can offer citizens
sustainable mobility if it meets a number of qualitative objectives. The
effectiveness of the design of intermodal stations is a critical factor in
determining the quality of public transport. On average, public transport
terminals in developing countries are not designed from an intermodal
service perspective. Cairo terminals suffer many problems which affect
passenger trips of which are; the lack of convenient facilities and
connections between the different modes, limited pedestrian safety
facilities in the intermodal area, the poor state of the station structures,
unavailability of sufficient parking areas and the unavailability of modern
information systems.
