Detailed Description

The study of life on the footpath has been studied to be sensitive to the functions and activities carried out on the footpath. To understand how space, time, social culture and thoughts affect the view of a footpath. It has been observed that various places have different ways of using a footpath based on the user. To some it’s a home, while others are not affected by its absence. In different contexts, the same footpath can be differently pursued. In some cases it may be a multipurpose way, while in others it just exists. The form of footpaths in various places has been observed and studied in pure form, trying to understand its function and uses as well as non-uses.
