Figure 1. Examples of streets and sidewalks in Saudi Cities (source: Authors). The design quality of streets has been one of the most common subjects of re- search in the urban and planning field around the world. According to various studies, streets are not only for car movement but the design of streets can also enhance residents’ daily lives and wellbeing and provide a positive image, as well as giving a city character (Carmona, 2019; Carmona et al., 2018; Lytvynenko et al., 2018). For example, the American movement “complete streets” emphasizes the importance of the design of streets for cars and also for all patterns of use and different users’ demographics (Brown et al., 2016; Burden & Litman, 2011; McCann & Rynne, 2010; Geraghty et al., 2009). In addition, London has been investing in the quality of its streets to ensure a balance between circulation and places (Transport of London, 2019: 1). places (Transport of London, 2019: 1).
