With the deepening of population ageing in China, the needs of elderly populations are increasingly being considered in urban development, driving the construction of age-friendly cities nationwide. In daily urban life, elderly pedestrians are a visible presence among bustling crowds. However, current urban pedestrian environments often lack both quality improvements and sufficient attention to the needs of elderly pedestrians. This study focuses on the Duobao Road area in Liwan District, Guangzhou, an area with a pronounced ageing population, and explores strategies to optimize walking spaces for elderly residents by emphasizing the concept of walkability. Through systematic research and design practices, the study aims to enhance the walking environment for elderly populations.
