Conclusion

Post Design: Evaluating before implementing; Prioritizing pedestrian schemes

Research Abstraction & Design: Derivation of a comprehensive framework for pedestrian safety in terms of conceptual, perceptual & functional design

Step 5: Urban design & sustainable development, Concept for pedestrian environment

INTEGRATION OF ACTIVITIES - housing, retail, commercial and recreational, within a compact setting to encourage people to make more city-centre journeys on foot. Attainment of compactness within communities for accessibility in terms of spatial and temporal terms.
