Integrating Transit-Oriented Development in Historic Urban Districts: Enhancing Mobility and Preservation in ElMosky, Cairo

A pioneering approach to integrating Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in the historic district of ElMosky, Cairo, demonstrates how tailored urban interventions can address contemporary mobility challenges while preserving cultural heritage. The study identifies critical issues such as traffic congestion and outdated public transportation, proposing solutions like pedestrianizing key streets, creating green spaces, and expanding transit connectivity—all informed by community feedback and field observations. This research offers a framework for sustainable urban growth in historic settings, balancing modern mobility needs with the protection of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
