Pedestrians can also affect the urban identity. In this paper, the effect of pedestrians on the culture and identity of the city had been discussed. By investigating the current academic literature, studies concerning the pedestrians, urban space, culture and urban culture, identity and urban identity have been collected and finally, the effect of pedestrian-oriented spaces on the culture and urban identity have been discussed.
