Abstract

Mega cities always suffer from many problems concerning connectivity. Hence this research is trying to understand how axial roads can contribute in solving these problems. This Research aims at evaluating the efficiency of axial roads as a tool for increasing connectivity in mega cities in terms of three items ( Distance - Time- Traffic Congestion) This Research handles the topic in terms of three themes. First Theme Handles the axial roads, second theme handles Connectivity in cities, While third theme handles the analytical part by comparing between moving from one destination to another using the axial roads one time and the ordinary street grid another time and compare the results in terms of (Driven Distance - Transition Time- Traffic Congestion) Then by using an equation to calculate the connectivity in each case we could evaluate the Efficiency of "Axial Roads" as a tool for increasing Connectivity in Mega cities.
