Study on the Sidewalk Width in Contemporary Beijing

With the improvement of economy and living standards, people are increasingly pursuing high-quality urban public spaces, especially the pleasant living streets of traditional cities. In order to explore the sidewalk room in Beijing, the article is based on Active Design Guidelines: Promoting Physical Activity and Health in Design (City of New York, 2010), defining the sidewalk room, and taking the sidewalk width as the main purpose, investigating 60 sidewalks in the Third Ring Road of Beijing, which are expounded from three aspects: extreme width, space profile, and ground elements. The change in the width of the sidewalk reflects the humanization of the city and the change in urban cognition, which affects Beijing’s urban development in all aspects.
