| Abstract | ||||
| Madinet Nasr is by far the most attractive area for residents to live in Cairo; it was the first planned area after Cairo master plan execution in 1956. Although the district follows the invasion and relay rule, but it has rapid population growth; which affect its physical setting, urban and social aspects. These sides could be tracked from residents’ responds. The study aims to measure and analyze quality of urban life (QOUL) and quality of life (QOL) as they related to each other; using subjective test and structure equation modeling, results show that QOUL and QOL did not affect by population growth or urban horizontal and vertical expansion. The research came atthe conclusion that high appeal areas (attractive areas) have a positive effect on QOUL and QOL. | ||||
