Developing a framework for streetscape design to promote walkability in Malaysian campus

Campus physical environment plays a significant role in shaping the life of its community, particularly among students. A good campus is the one that supports the student’s social needs, health and wellbeing through proper campus planning and design. Campus planning and design include open spaces, l...
