JULY 9 — By making walkability a central component of how we design our cities, we can create vibrant, inclusive and environmentally sustainable urban landscapes.
Efficient land-use planning can create compact, higher-density and mixed-use neighbourhoods where amenities and services are within walking distance .This includes designing streetscapes and creating attractive public spaces, parks and amenities that are visually appealing and functional for pedestrians.
Additionally, refuge islands and raised crosswalks can shorten distances, while frequent pedestrian crossings improve accessibility and convenience.Technology including smart infrastructure, data analytics and digital mapping and navigation can significantly enhance infrastructure design and promote walkability.
Integrating walking with other modes of transport through Mobility as a Service platforms that provide real-time information about public transport options and their proximity to walkable routes can create seamless travel experiences using a variety of different modes of transport and facilitate more sustainable travel choices.
Revising zoning codes to allow for higher density and mixed-use developments can be achieved by repurposing existing — and potentially underutilised — spaces for new uses that can serve also as attractive destinations for walking.
