| Creating a healthy environment is a great challenge, as most of nation streets turn to be highways instead of being streets. The main reasons for the research are to save the culture view, with its walkable network, to overcome the lack of regulation for walkability, according to the Cabinet of ministers, 2020. The paper consists of three sectors, first the theoretical approach that identifies the walkability features. Second, the urban field literature, which is based on a questionnaire to assess the walkability percentage in streets, and citizen’s comfort, then the finally third sector suggest a walkability application as a guideline to respond to the public opinion evaluation. The Study context is based on assessing the amenities provided for Walkability within its urban context. The research focused on the walkable districts that have good culture view to be a sustainable landmark for cities, to increase tourism, to avoid the “upward mobility”, and satellite desert city for new development. Hence the deductive approach is based on a theoretical comparative analysis within creating application, to show the relationship between the walkability indicators for the citizen, in questionnaire using Essen’s walkability assessment. The central problem of my study is how to revive our nation’s streets into sustainable routes. The main conclusion is to achieve adequate urban design for citizen, depends upon their exact needs, based on climate, gender, and age that will vary from region to another, this was achieved by concluded different walkability indicators which were mentioned at the end of this paper. | ||
