Pedestrians’ perceptions of the role of the built environment towards pedestrian safety in Kampala city, Uganda: a phenomenological study
This study reveals how the built environment in Kampala puts pedestrians at daily risk through poor infrastructure, unsafe crossings and behavioural gaps. These lived experiences must not be overlooked. Urban planners and decision-makers must urgently integrate community perspectives into road and land-use design to make Kampala's streets safer for all.
