It accommodates 16.1 million inhabitants representing 19% of Egypt's total population. Today, critical urban issues arise from the sheer size of the metropolis GCR and from its population density. Traffic congestion is at the top of these issues. This research focuses on the significant role that hubs (Multi-Modal Platforms) can play in enhancing the GCR transportation infrastructure.
