The pedestrian space that is located close to the building in 3-D imaging, roads, automotive, street facilities and trails, trees, rocks, soil, water and converts to natural factors.
The urban area could be converted into comfortable and fine circumstance to walk along. We can also ensure the safety of pedestrians by replacing such as cars and things with similar natural objects.
