Today, the widespread presence of vehicles and the increasing share of pedestrian crossings have created many problems for cities and have turned sidewalks into places for passing. Meanwhile, sidewalks can play an important role in increasing social interactions and encourage people to be present in the space and create a connection between people and space. In the meantime, the neo-urbanists believe that the strengthening of public spaces such as sidewalks will revive civil life and enliven the space.
