Several walkability studies have focused primarily on macro-level environmental factors.
Nevertheless, previous research has shown that street-level design can also support …

Numerous techniques for collecting data are available to assess pedestrian built
environment features. Recently, several studies favoured Google tools over conventional …

Background Active commuting to school can be a meaningful contributor to overall physical
activity in children. To inform better micro-level urban design near schools that can support …

Despite decades of civil rights legislation for Americans with disabilities, much of the
pedestrian infrastructure in cities remains inaccessible. This inaccessibility has led to …

The link between street environment and pedestrian route choices remains a relatively
understudied research topic, mainly due to the difficulty in collecting data. This research …

A growing body of empirical findings suggests that more satisfactory, compact, and
traversable built environments can positively influence active travel, physical activity, and the …

Neighborhood walkability is key to promoting health, accessibility, and pedestrian safety.
The Accessible, Connected Communities Encouraging Safe Sidewalks (ACCESS) project …

In this paper, we evaluate different elements of the urban micro-scale environment in eight
European capitals' downtown areas (ie Vienna, Copenhagen, Warsaw, Madrid, Brussels …

The study purpose was to train and validate a deep learning approach to detect microscale
streetscape features related to pedestrian physical activity. This work innovates by …

Urban planning is increasingly data driven, yet the challenge of designing with data at a city
scale and remaining sensitive to the impact at a human scale is as important today as it was …
