Pedestrianization refers to the process of transforming streets, urban areas, or entire districts into spaces exclusively or primarily accessible to pedestrians, while restricting or eliminating motorized vehicle traffic. This concept plays a pivotal role in modern urban planning, aiming to enhance mobility, sustainability, and quality of life in cities. By prioritizing walking as a mode of transport, pedestrianization addresses challenges such as air pollution, traffic congestion, and the need for safer public spaces.
