 Abstract

This systematic review explores strategies to optimize urban pedestrian streets for residents and tourists, employing Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocols to ensure a comprehensive and transparent analysis. Key design elements, including walkability, safety, aesthetics, and smart technology integration, are identified as essential for creating functional and attractive urban spaces. The study emphasizes balancing the needs of locals and visitors, ensuring streets provide essential services and connectivity while delivering memorable experiences for tourists. Furthermore, the review underscores the importance of sustainable development and cultural preservation, advocating for eco-friendly methods that respect diverse traditions. Analyzing 46 studies, the research offers practical recommendations for enhancing pedestrian streets, providing valuable insights for policymakers and urban planners to foster inclusive, sustainable, and vibrant urban environments.
