Abstract

Mixed-use development is one of the applications for achieving sustainability goals and quality of life in cities, and one of the creative city tangible characteristics indicators as well. Mixed-use approach was adopted in development strategies for two global examples in this chapter. This study sheds light on the unplanned generated mixed-use axes in upper middle class residential zones in Cairo, the paradigm in which they have been formed and the factors leading to the current mixed-use axes, and their effects on the quality of life for the same urban contexts, how might the stakeholders' needs be achieved without urban deterioration, how these axes could be creative places, and the importance of community involvement in urban development and management processes. A field survey of three local case studies will answer these inquiries in this chapter. Expected results will set guidelines for mixed-use axes in upper middle class residential zones to enhance the quality of life. These guidelines could be applied to transform/design the existing/new cities to be creative cities.
