Abstract
Numerous urban agendas are detailed in the international literature in relation
to urban sprawl, traffic transit sequences, and flyovers. Roads and bridges
have been the focus of Egyptian urban policy for half a century, especially in
the Greater Cairo Region 2050 vision. As a result of this approach, several
elevated urban roadways cut through Cairo’s urban fabric, ensuring city
traffic. The shifting development patterns in Egypt have weakened the urban
fabric. Elevated urban roadways and their different repercussions have long
been debated globally, but not locally in Egypt. Highways have many social,
ecological, and economic implications, but perhaps the most important is the
potential for collective benefit. Current Egyptian policies have repurposed the
areas under the flyovers despite their loss. This research aims at Examining
the current situations of the proposed Development plans for spaces that
located underneath recently constructed bridges in Cairo neighbourhoods.
These obtained by studying international and local case studies with same
neighbourood characteristics. Qualitative method, site observations, maps,
surveys, exploratory walking routs, video-based recording, In-depth
interviews with users and semi-structured interviews with field specialists
were used to collect data. Users’ Perspectives are used to assess the influence
of activities and landscape architecture under flyovers on urban commons.
The results demonstrate various experiences dependent on the age and species
of neighbourhoods being developed on the bridge. The data demonstrated
how communities perceive the spaces beneath elevated highways and the
structure differently, and how a negative impact in one instance may be
interpreted as a positive influence in another. The findings aid in the
identification of potentially beneficial community activities that can improve
residents’ quality of life. Additionally, learn about the critical role of
collaboration between the local community, stakeholders, authorities, and
field experts in designing successful, active public spaces. When it comes to
flyover placement in the heart of a city, the recommendations emphasise the
importance of integrating urban design, landscape architecture, and
socioeconomic parameters in the area.
