Intentions are always embedded with the design. It is just that whether this intention provides options or limits opportunities for people to decide how to explore the city. For me, covered walkways are, most of the time, practical while being restrictive as I've already viewed walking through these walkways as default throughout the time. Along with a lot of warning signs (NO TRESPASS) and fences, the whole urban planning of Singapore is with a strong intention on how people should live and walk in the city in their expected framework(they might say it is a vision of future city instead of admitting that it is for stronger control and surveillance though).
Cover these walkways with photovoltaic panels!
