Abstract
Walking, as a transportation mode, contributes to not only individual well-being but also environmental sustainability. Though often neglected in the transport planning process that focuses primarily on motorized transport, its benefits recently have renewed interest to promote walking by enhancing walkability. In this paper, we conduct a systematic review of the walkability literature according to three aspects: (I) supply-side analyses that characterize, measure, and assess walking facility attributes in a built environment; (II) demand-side analyses that measure and model pedestrian behavioural response to a walkable environment; and (III) prescriptive approaches by stakeholder groups for developing strategies to enhance walkability. While recognizing the progress that has been made by previous studies, we conclude by exposing the challenges that remain and thereafter identifying potential research directions. Show more
