UNDERSTANDING PEDESTRIAN TRANSIT IN VIEW OF URBAN SCENARIO

Abstract

This paper explains the importance and methods of pedestrian transit systems in context of planning in urban pedestrian systems on street level. The aim is to understand the role of urban planning in making a good city and better pedestrian transit systems and to overcome the challenging conceptions of public spaces. The objective of the research is to study the nature of streets, how streets work in present context, transit nodes and pedestrian network in a city. This paper provides a first step to standardize the way we look at pedestrian systems in context of walk able cities. It draws together research on walk able cities and pedestrian facilities to know how better integration of underground pedestrian networks and skywalks along with other pedestrian facilities and urban pedestrian systems can be achieved.
