Bridging the gap: A study of pedestrian mobility, conflicts, and climate in enhancing continuous movement on sidewalk
Uninterrupted pedestrian flow is key to walkable, inclusive cities. This study explores how sidewalk conditions, user conflicts, and weather disruptions affect movement. By identifying key qualitative factors, we propose a user-focused method for assessing and enhancing sidewalk Quality of Service (QoS).
Building healthier cities in Saudi Arabia through greener urban futures
This research extends existing scholarship by contextualizing Healthy City principles within Saudi Arabia’s specific climatic conditions, demographic transitions, and centralized governance structures. Rather than advocating direct replication of international models, the study emphasizes learning from international experiences to inform context-specific strategies aligned with Vision 2030 and national sustainability priorities. By interpreting international experiences within Saudi urban realities, this work provides a geographically specialized and policy-relevant contribution to the discourse on sustainable and healthy urban development.
