Although Abu Dhabi and Dubai have similar political and planning systems, the two cities’ neighborhoods feature different morphological layouts. Over the course of their formal progression, these neighborhoods have experienced erratic changes in pedestrian accessibility. This study uses traditional methods of cartography and land use mapping coupled with quantitative methods of network analysis (UNA) to analyze the physical design elements that contribute to neighborhood accessibility in each city. Spatial and quantitative analyses reveal that planning practices in both cities achieved their highest accessibility levels in earlier neighborhoods. Since the 1980s, with the emergence of automobile-oriented developments, the two cities have failed to build pedestrian-accessible and connected neighborhoods. While Dubai has stayed with the same planning system since that time, Abu Dhabi in the 2010s reformed its planning system by embracing higher density and more interconnected streets, yet these measures have not resulted in increased accessibility. The study demonstrates that pedestrian accessibility results from an effective interplay between street design, parcel sizes, and land use density and distribution. The paper concludes by calling for the return to old physical ideals of local neighborhood planning.

无障碍设计和规划:阿布扎比和迪拜社区的经验教训

尽管阿布扎比和迪拜具有类似的政治和计划体系,但两个城市的街区具有不同的形态布局。在他们的正式发展过程中,这些社区的行人通行性发生了变化。这项研究使用传统的制图和土地利用制图方法,以及网络分析的定量方法(UNA),来分析有助于每个城市邻里可达性的物理设计元素。空间和定量分析表明,两个城市的规划实践在早期社区中都达到了最高的可访问性水平。自1980年代以来,随着面向汽车的发展的兴起,这两个城市一直未能建立行人通行且连通的社区。自那时以来,迪拜一直使用相同的规划系统,但阿布扎比在2010年代通过拥抱更高的密度和更相互联系的街道来改革其规划系统,但是这些措施并没有增加可及性。该研究表明,行人通行性是街道设计,地块大小以及土地利用密度和分布之间有效相互作用的结果。本文的结尾是呼吁回归到当地邻里规划的古老物理理想。
