Abstract

Over the last years there has been a growing interest to integrate structure, urban design and travel patterns. The incorporation of this knowledge into practice, namely mobility planning, has been positively affected by the development of new planning tools. Despite theinnovation of mobility environment approach as a novel instrument for mobility planning,new methods seem to be needed. They aim to deepen our understanding of the relationshipsbetween urban structure and travel pattern through mobility environment concept.The article aims to gain insight into this problem using the particular case of pedestrianmobility. A method to characterize the pedestrian quality of mobility environments is presented here (CPEM). CPEM assesses the pedestrian quality through four walkability aspects: accessibility, security, comfort and attractiveness. To illustrate the worth of thismethod, a practical implementation to the context of the metropolitan area of Granada,Spain, is presented. The paper describes this case, explores the advantages and disadvantages of CPEM, and finally anticipates some issues for future research.
