The legacy of car-centric urban design has led to rising pollution, reduced physical activity, and increased risks for pedestrians, creating a clear need for promoting sustainable transport solutions. Among these, walking stands out as the most fundamental everyday activity that positively impacts health and well-being. The concept of walkability, which describes how well an environment supports walking, has become central to urban planning. To date, walkability research has focused on neighbourhood-level assessments, often overlooking street-level details and relying on traditional methods, restricted in scale and time. This research investigates the relationship between walking and street characteristics, utilizing advanced big data technologies to capture and analyse pedestrian activity over time. Focusing on Tel-Aviv, Israel, this study illuminates how the street environment shapes pedestrian movement, offering insights for pedestrian-oriented planning and design.
