Assessing In-Motion Urban Visual Perception: Analyzing Urban Features, Design Qualities, and People’s Perception

Understanding urban perception, a key aspect of people’s urban experience, is crucial for comprehending the human-environment relationship. Research shows that the built environment significantly impacts how people perceive their surroundings while in motion, such as while walking. This understanding is crucial for developing healthy cities [5, 6]; walking, in particular, is recognized to benefit mental and phys?ical health. Therefore, gaining insights into how the urban environment affects the in-motion perception can play a pivotal role in informing urban policies and decision-making in urban planning and design, contributing to enhance human well-being and quality of life. With a deeper understanding of urban percep?tion, urban planners can design environments that significantly improve the quality of urban life.
