Toward Resilient Urban Design: Pedestrians as an Important Element of City Design

[EN] Including pedestrians in urban design is vital so that they prefer walking over motor- ized transport. Motorized mobility, which mainly involves automobiles, has conditioned urban design, pedestrian movement, sustainability, and urban resilience. Studies of walkability in cities have recently b...
