Hi,
I think it would be quite interesting if you did something related to
narrowing highways in order to reduce road traffic...and:
If by pavements you mean "road surface" then determining an appropriate
speed which makes automobiles and trucks nearly silent on whatever road
surface would be great...
BUT if you actually mean the walkways at the sides of roads then designing
them so they are felt by everyone as an extension of their business or
housing - rather than just a place for movement - it would be useful...
You will also may get some ideas here:

BUT especially here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_space
and here:

which is from here:
