Many studies have been conducted over the last 20 years to determine and measure factors that affect walkability of city streets. Walkability is an essential factor in deciding whether a green or sustainable. This paper creates comprehensive index by analysing built environmental indicators walkability. research was on mixed land use streets Cairo, Egypt, combining results from online survey as...

This paper explores inequity in neighborhood walkability at the micro-scale level by qualitatively examining six streetscapes in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A photographic survey is used to highlight differences in the quality and design of the built environment among pairs of streetscapes with high or low social vulnerability but approximately equal quantitative Walk Scores®. The survey revealed...

For decades, accessibility – i.e. the ease of reaching destinations has been an important concept in transport planning, resulting many studies trying to measure it and put into practice. Also walkability, a mode-specific type referring how easy is walk (to destinations) received increased attention last two decades. In recent years, new focus on people perceive their as this may be stronger pr...

Walkability has become a research topic of great concern for preserving public health, especially in the era COVID-19 outbreak. Today more than ever, urban and transport policies, constrained by social distancing measures travel restrictions, must be conceptualized implemented with particular emphasis on sustainable walkability. Most walkability models apply observation subjective methods to me...

The impact of neighborhood walkability (based on street connectivity and traffic exposure) within 2 km of public primary schools on children regularly walking to school was examined. The most (n=13) and least walkable (n=12) schools were selected using a school-specific 'walkability' index and a cross sectional study undertaken of Year 5, 6 and 7 children (n=1480) and consenting parents (n=1332...

Physically-active and sedentary behaviors are determinants of adult weight gain and are associated with built-environment attributes. We reviewed recent evidence on built-environment attributes with adult adiposity. Of 41 relevant papers identified, 34 reported cross-sectional, six recorded prospective findings, and one included both cross-sectional and prospective designs. In 15 cross-sectiona...

Walkability is generally defined by the extent to which built environment supports and encourages walking promoting pedestrian comfort, connectivity convenience. This paper scrutinizes steps taken in Johannesburg develop walkability policies projects. It draws on empirical evidence from (e.g., Corridors of Freedom) projects Grayston Pedestrian Bridge) recently introduced. Rather than focusing m...
