“…Introduction Research describes the essential need for the start and endpoint of any walking experience (Capitanio, 2019;Caymaz, 2019). Walking is also the only way several people can approach everyday activities (Chapman & Olson, 2017;Hussein, 2018;Ferrer, Ruiz, & Mars, 2015). However, the streets and public spaces once meant for pedestrians are being degraded and invaded by private cars, pulling an active social life from residents that formerly walked on the streets (Balsas, 2021;Krambeck & Shah, 2006).…”

Many studies have been conducted over the last 20 years to determine and measure factors that affect the walkability of city streets. Walkability is an essential factor in deciding whether a city is green or sustainable. This paper creates a comprehensive walkability index by analysing built environmental indicators that affect walkability. This research was conducted on mixed land use streets in Cairo, Egypt, combining the results from an online survey and a walkability assessment model developed by multi-criteria decision analysis techniques. The results were based on a three-pillar approach starting with the theoretical background to frame the walkability indicator, numerical assessment over the Egyptian cases using a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) technique and a qualitative user perception survey. Our results confirm that determining to what extent Cairo’s streets are walkable is crucial to enhancing pedestrians’ perceptions of the walking environment. Furthermore, the results illustrated the essential factors within the built environment indicators that influence pedestrian walking behaviour.
