Abstract
Citywalk, a popular trend on social media platforms, is transforming people’s preference for walking in cities. Despite its growing influence on street and place-making efforts, the relationship between Citywalk preference and built environment remains undisclosed, let alone their concerted efforts for informing more complex urban planning. In this research, a comprehensive evaluation system is proposed based on space analysis of built environment indicators and data of Citywalk from Xiaohongshu, to reconstruct a new urban perception model and recommend route selections for urban renewal practices.We take Shanghai’s historical area as the representative example and find the results well correspond to real pedestrian preferences in LBS data, which suggests this measurement is a potential valuable guidance for urban planning in the future.
