Abstract:
In light of the numerous benefits of increased walkability, which is commonly defined as the extent to which the built environment encourages conducting walking trips, an increasing number of research efforts have been brought about on the topic by urban planners, transportation engineers, health scientists and many others. Civil Engineering students at AUB have investigated walkability from the perspectives of students, AUB employees, residents, business employers and employees in the neighborhood of Ras Beirut.
