This paper examines the recent transformation of İslam Safarli Street in the historic centre of Baku as a case of context-sensitive intervention in a heritage environment. Located between Fountains Square and Winter Park and surrounded by buildings of architectural value, the street was recently pedestrianized to improve accessibility, public space quality, and urban comfort. Through a qualitative case-study approach combining historical analysis, project review, and visual-spatial assessment, the study evaluates the relationship between pedestrian-oriented design, heritage accessibility, and urban continuity. The findings highlight both the benefits and challenges of integrating contemporary urban needs with the preservation of historic urban character.
