The Walkable City

This book explores of urban walking in its multiple manifestations, drawing on contemporary thinking in mobilities studies in relation to how everyday mobilities are socially and materially co-produced. It provides an account of the diversity of walking and challenges essentialist understandings of walkability that frequently dominate urban and transport studies. Contemporary walkability is discussed through five thematic chapters that consider the planning for, and practice of, walking, and the politics associated with pedestrian practices.
