Walkable Urban Environments for Wellbeing: An Analysis of Walkability in the City of Torino
Abstract
As is widely recognized, walking is good for health and improves well-being, and in recent years, several studies have analyzed the phenomenon of walkability to assess its effectiveness and to understand the main factors influencing people's choice of walking. In this article, the main issues are taken up as regards the effectiveness of moving on foot as well as the elements of the environment that encourage this type of mobility. However, as we know, not all people are the same, and therefore, the choice of moving on foot is not taken according to the same principles by all categories of citizens. For this reason, this article focuses on a tool, developed in recent years by the authors, that aims to determine levels of walkability (walk index) that can be adapted according to the category of users considered.
