Streets of the city are not only the lanes which carry traffic influx but
play a major role as a social space that promotes interaction further strengthening the social cultural fabric of the city. Streets are the most democratic place of the city where every user of the city has equal right ranging from a pedestrian to an automobile driver. On this background, this workshop aimed at developing sensitivity among students as well a citizens about the cultural aspect of their streets and how it could be achieved through the idea of ' Sustainable Urban Mobility' that encourages the pedestrian friendly environment and public modes of transport over private.
