    This research paper lays stress on philosophies of human desire. All the human being has some psychical needin addition to physical needs. And to satisfy the psychical needs, there is a need for stimulants, more in case of exclusive pedestrianprecincts. Having exclusively Pedestrian precincts/Cores in city design draws its inspiration from the fact that public zones,accessible to majority of citizens, represent zones where anything and everything, that characterizes a town, happens. They,consequently, must allow for the most varied form of behaviour from that of a child to that of old people to that of physicallychallenged. As a result such zones need to have Design Elements to serve their varied behavioral patterns. Designing Pedestrianprecincts are different essentially because of time dimension where a longer time lag is required to experience the pedestrianfriendliness of pedestrian precincts. Such external stimulants can be a moderate degree of complexity, novelty, surprise, anduncertainty attained by incorporating appropriate pedestrian friendly design elements in pedestrian layouts such as richness ofarchitecture, landscape elements, water bodies, to sit and stroll through, and commuters’ infrastructure.In this article/paper adetailed study of abovementioned Design element, external stimulants and pedestrian friendly design elements in pedestrian layoutswill be discussed in detail.
