Existing cities are difficult to reconfigure due to their population density and congested highways, which have a detrimental effect on the environment and human health. Sustainable urban development essentially improves people’s quality of life, preserves human health, and mitigates the global consequences of the climate change phenomena. As a result, there is a demand for sustainable cities, which are metropolitan areas powered by cutting-edge technology. This study looks at the subject of sustainable urban planning and how to apply all of the latest innovative solutions to Alexandria’s public transit systems. It focuses on the development of Alexandria as a platform for a high quality of life through a strategic urban plan that gives a future vision for reducing traffic congestion and pollution. This study offers a feasible solution to the city’s traffic problems through the use of smart infrastructure and innovative mobility solutions. The suggested sustainable design is based on the city’s green belt and new axes to establish new traffic channels that will alleviate congestion and solve the city’s traffic concerns. This plan is regarded as an important approach to a strategic urban plan for Alexandria’s transformation into a sustainable metropolis.
