Urban Design Selected Projects (2010-2013) This section includes projects done during the academic years in the Faculty of Urban and Regional Planning
This is my Graduation project which was about studying the impact of the Metro third line’s impact on the historical district of Heliopolis , focusing on promoting sustainability in scocioeconomic , Urban and ecological aspects . Several walks and surveys were carried out in the historical core of Heliopolis , documenting the buildings of architectural value and suggesting solutions for maintaining the activities commercial corridors

Current state of commercial corridors , no safety for pedestrians ,
The effect of the metro line on the land’s prices and building’s heights
The issue of the project was how to deal with the complexity of the current situation in Heliopolis study area, and drawing a scenario to an additional factor for a more complexed state ,which is the Metro third line project, that is considered by many of the district’s residents as an interior body or a stranger to their historical place . Recognizing the metro line as a development corridor to the places it serves is an approach for this project to reconcile between the metro line and Heliopolis’s commercial core , and to bound together the district’s various potentials to integrate with places that are going to be a major hub for transportation and commercial activities , those where the stations are going to be implemented .
Promoting walkability in the commercial corridors that are in the critical spots being in the core of the historical district , and adapting to the new metro line project in the middle of these corridors . So ensuring the safety of the pedestrians as they move along those corridors as they buy from the retail stores and spend some good time in the outdoor coffee shops and restaurants .

This project is about studying the pedestrian movements in the city networks in Downtown – Attaba district specifically – and the levels of analyzing the pedestrian – automobile network and what factors affecting their function . Ending with the conclusion of the standards that should be found to provide a safe environment for pedestrians’ movement .
The district is considered a main commercial hub for many kinds of retail cargos and shipments in Cairo . Also we should consider the particular historical sites such as Opera square , Azbakeya garden , Attaba square , Azhar and Hussein districts .
Public transit means to reach the district
Azhar bridge
Visual perception
Landuses
The first level of the Huge density of Example for Informal Cargo Storage project is analyzing retail market( moski) rooms some points such as ; pedestrians through retail markets Land uses , the road network for automobiles and pedestrians , activities and their kinds (formal and informal ) Merchant Employees Resident , and deducing the &Buyers relations between -storage land using is very common with high percentage each one of them to in the northern part of the district where workshops lie the other , to have the there ( tailors , shoemakers ..etc ) SWOT analysis as a -while in the core and southern parts linear retail product of observing markets are found ( formal and informal ) where these relations . pedestrian’s activity is very high
