Colleagues,
Over the last one year we along with several partners have been conducting
walkability surveys across Asian cities. With great help from several NGO's,
students, citizens and government officials we have reached 21 cities across
Asia. You can read about the survey findings @

“walkability score” for each city was determined using following parameters
- Walking Path Modal Conflict, Availability of Walking Paths, Availability
of Crossings, Grade Crossing Safety, Motorist Behaviour, Amenities,
Disability Infrastructure, Obstructions and Security from Crime. The survey
was conducted across different type of landuse such as residential,
commercial, educational and public transport terminals. Pedestrian interview
surveys were also conducted along with the field walkability surveys. These
surveys were conducted to validate the results of the field surveys as well
as to collect the feedback and opinion of the pedestrians. Nearly 5000
pedestrians were interviewed across several cities ( including use of online
survey
