Table 2.
Examples of tactical urbanism strategies that can lead to permanent solutions to increase utilitarian and leisure walking behavior and reduce inequalities.
| (1) Expanding pedestrian spaces and footpath networks |
| • Programs to encourage walking |
| • Widen and lengthen pavements and improve connections to promote traffic safety |
| • Reduce pressure on parks and public spaces by widening pavements in the surrounding area |
| • Facilitate access to vulnerable groups who would otherwise have to walk in worse environments (e.g., unsafe streets; crowded footpaths) |
| • Expand pedestrian infrastructure using existing proposals |
| • Expand pedestrian access to the provision of safe public transport |
| (2) Providing recreational paths for walking |
| • Create and expand existing networks |
| • Establish social networks to enable and support walking |
| (3) Adapting parks and public spaces |
| • Keep open large public spaces (e.g., parks) |
| • Ensure that parks and public space users have access to water, hygiene, and sanitation. |
| • Implement and enforce measures to increase perceived and objective safety against violence, harassment. |
| (4) Adapting traffic lights, signage, and speed limits |
| • Replace button-activated traffic lights with automatic systems. |
| • Adjust the timing of traffic lights to favor pedestrians |
| • Reduce speed limits throughout the city to promote pedestrian safety |
| • Implement and enforce measures to increase pedestrian safety on traffic |
