Van Nes, A. Salheen, M.A. Khalifa, M.A. Hamhaber, J. Faculty Architecture and The Built Environment Department Urbanism Date 2014-12-14 Abstract As it turns out, social factors are significantly correlated with the spatial structure of the street grid on a metropolitan scale level. On a local scale, disadvantaged areas have a high locally integrated spatial structure, but lack accessibility to the surrounding areas and the whole city. Seemingly, the connection between a main route network and various neighbourhoods might influence a neighbourhoodâs social as well as economic integration. The current planning practice in Cairo, however, contributes to change this spatial structure through separating vibrant urban centres from the main route network. The effect is that this planning practice intensifies the social segregation processes between various social groups.
