The focus throughout this book is on the dimensional aspects of pedestrian facilities needed to provide safe mobility to encourage increased walking, and the design of individual elements of a pedestrian’s route. In addition, there is coverage of the theory regarding individual and group pedestrian characteristics, which forms the basis for the practical applications of these elements, as well as sections on the simulation and auditing of pedestrian facilities, capacity analysis, and the design of pedestrian facilities for disabled users.
For use by practitioners and students involved in civil engineering aspects of design projects for highways and public spaces, this book draws together material from many different and often overlapping sources, to provide design information intended to assist urban planners, architects and the wide range of people involved with facilities within the public realm.
