Socio-Spatial Framework to Improve Air Quality in Transit-Oriented Development (2025)
Thesis

This research focuses on air quality management in Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) neighbourhoods, addressing the complex interplay between urban design, community behaviour, and regulatory policies. TODs, while promoting sustainable urban develop... Read More about Socio-Spatial Framework to Improve Air Quality in Transit-Oriented Development.

Comprehending particulate matter dynamics in transit-oriented developments: Traffic as a generator and design as a captivator (2024)
Journal Article
Elmarakby, E., & Elkadi, H. (2024). Comprehending particulate matter dynamics in transit-oriented developments: Traffic as a generator and design as a captivator. Science of the Total Environment, 931, 172528. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172528

In Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), the close integration of residential structures with community activities and traffic heightens residents' exposure to traffic-related pollutants. Despite traffic being a primary source of particulate matter (PM...

Tailored methods for mapping urban heat islands in Greater Cairo Region (2021)
Journal Article
Elmarakby, E., Khalifa, M., Elsahter, A., & Afifi, S. (2022). Tailored methods for mapping urban heat islands in Greater Cairo Region. Ain Shams Engineering Journal ASEJ / Ain Shams University, 13(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.asej.2021.06.030

Globally, there is a rapid development of urban heat island (UHI) detection tools, and their results can be accepted regardless of their accuracy in measuring the real impact of the phenomenon. In this study, we investigated various UHI measuring too... Read More about Tailored methods for mapping urban heat islands in Greater Cairo Region.

Spatial morphology and urban heat island: comparative case studies (2020)
Book Chapter

Urbanisation is a process associated with the global industrial and technological development. Globally, this process causes a continuous change of the land cover and increases the urban areas. Scholars from various disciplines address these changes... Read More about Spatial morphology and urban heat island: comparative case studies.
