Man and his transport behaviour. Part 2a Walking as a means of transport

Abstract

The article discusses the work of previous researchers who have suggested that walking is a neglected mode of transport and that its significance is often overlooked in transport policies and plans to the detriment of travellers in general and, in particular, of those dependent on walking. An exception to this conclusion is the recognition of the value of pedestrianizing shopping centres in town and city centres for a number of environmental reasons. The article is designed to (a) present evidence on the demand for, and the importance of, walking as a means of transport and its application to unresearched situations; (b) consider what provisions are made for pedestrians in transport plans; and (C) suggest what policy problems require further research.
