Abstract

Smart cities are designed to deal with a variety of urban issues. With the spread of the concept of smart cities on a large scale, planners began to include the concept of resilience as one of the most important factors in their planning, especially when communication and information technology was integrated to provide a huge database that accelerates and develops interaction in times of crisis, and while mobility is concerned with meeting needs, transportation ( including vehicles, infrastructure and traffic rules) is the tool required to achieve tangible mobility. According to the literature review, there is a significant research gap as most studies focus on definitions, theory studies, and stochastic plans to respond to sudden crises, with little effort put into developing resilience indicators and measurement strategies. The research aims to access resilience in the urban mobility sector, and also to develop an indicator-based strategy for implementing and evaluating mobility resilience through smart solutions, while keeping in mind the expected climatic local threats Where the flash floods fall at the top of the list of risks affecting the local community. Working on the proposed strategy for the new administrative capital as an implementation area, since it is the most important new smart Egyptian city and its significance as a new smart capital.
