This paper explores a body-centered approach to understanding walkability, emphasizing walking as a sensory, spatial, and symbolic experience rather than merely a mode of mobility. Moving past conventional metrics that taper walkability to physical infrastructure, it reviews narrative and embodied research methods to examine how urban environments are perceived and experienced in relation to walkability. Using Prague as a case study, this paper underscores the importance of an expanded, experiential perspective—one that recognizes the complex interactions between bodily presence, spatial form, and urban atmosphere. It advocates for methodologies that engage with the lived, sensory dimensions of walking to more fully understand how walkability is shaped and experienced.
