The main objective of the project is to develop a proof-of-concept and pilot the use of the Walkability app in Egypt. The project aims to assess the user-perceptions of walkability in both the inner and outer city contexts within 6 public transit catchment areas. The project has the following objectives:
- Provide a user-based perception reporting tool (the walkability application) to assess walkability in the different areas of Inner and Outer Cairo.
- Learn from the positive and negative reported pedestrian experiences in Cairo, to influence the future design, delivery, and management of pedestrian environments – especially in public transit catchments.
- Identify the priority areas of intervention by governmental stakeholders to consider improving the pedestrian-built environment.
