dc.description.abstractThe pedestrian environment in dhaka is highly challenging, with narrow, obstructed sidewalks, unsafe crossings, and poor infrastructure. Encroachments by vendors, parked vehicles, and construction debris often force pedestrians onto the streets, increasing accident risks. Despite efforts to improve footpaths and clear encroachments, the city's pedestrian infrastructure still needs significant improvements for safety and accessibility. This study aims to promote pedestrian-responsive street activities as an effective approach to enhancing a high-quality urban streetscape that contributes to the liveability of city communities like dhaka. Hence, the objective of this study is to analyse how spatial characteristics and physical factors affect people's daily activities in dhaka. Additionally, it offers to create a framework for recommending improvements to shape a better pedestrian environment, making the city more liveable for walkers. This study adopts a case study approach to assess the current state of dhaka’s streetscape by focusing on two busy areas: mirpur road (dhanmondi 27 to new market) and motijheel road (topkhana to toyenbee road). These locations were selected to represent real-life interactions between people and the quality of urban street spaces in dhaka.
