摘要：

This study highlights the necessity of studying both streets and alleyways when assessing network connectivity efficiency. Taking Dubai as a case, the research evaluates eleven neighborhoods with different streets and alleyways systems designed during different growth periods. The focus is placed on the efficiency of different street layouts and explores the contribution of alleys to that efficiency. A Pedestrian Route Directness (PRD) test is used to assess the efficiency of neighborhoods streets and alleys system. Findings show that alleys improved connectivity once added to the network showing an improvement in average PRD values, network densities, and plots passing the test.
