Abstract

 In many developing countries, districts were mainly designed for cars rather
than pedestrians' despite of the need for encouraging walkability. Furthermore,
streets are becoming more crowded and congested with poor or even non-existent
pedestrian facilities. In addition to, low income residents claimed that they suffered
from walking daily a distance 1-2 km without any facilities to be found in the street
within the district. Therefore, the aim of this research is to develop a checklist for
the factors that would aid in the decision –making process for the improvement of
pedestrian facilities in the Egyptian districts. Delphi technique is used to correlate
the urban design sustainability with both principles of walkability & pedestrian
facilities. the Result shows that the most important facility that should be applied
at first Infrastructure then followed by Side Walk, complete streets, Livability,
Safety then Mobility. This list would be as a guide for the futuristic urban planners
and authorities in order to develop the pedestrian facilities in Egypt and also in an
other developing countries
