Abstract:

The main objective of this research is to gain a general insight into the development process of new cities in Egypt and, in particular, into the role played by transport. Efforts to develop an integrated framework that considers the main factors contributing to the development process is pursued. This framework is used to show the effect of transport accessibility in comparison to other infrastructure provisions (water and waste water projects, electricity and communications projects) on the development of new cities in Egypt. Development is defined in terms of industrial and population development. The intention of this research is to use historical data to develop statistical models to verify the causal relationships displayed in this framework.

Abstract:

The main objective of this study is to gain a general insight into the development process of new cities in Egypt and, in particular, into the role played by transport. To achieve this, a questionnaire survey was designed and sent to industrial enterprises in two of the new cities in Egypt, namely Tenth of Ramadan and Sadat new cities. The questionnaire responses were analysed using nonparametric statistical tests. The main purpose of the analysis of data obtained from thequestionnaire responses is to understand and infer, in statistical terms, the way in which industrial enterprises in new cities in Egypt perceive the role played by transport in their choice of location, progress and development. The other purpose is to identify and establish, in statistical terms, the relative importance of factors considered necessary to foster the development of industrial enterprises in new cities in Egypt. The most important conclusions inferred from the questionnaire analysis is that mangers of industrial enterprises considered transport accessibility to be one of the significant factors in their choice of location. However, transport in general is not perceived by the industrial enterprises to be a source of problems in their future development and progress.
