Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent times, active transport has been at the center of urban planning initiatives aiming to achieve a just recovery from the pandemic and build a more resilient urban future, while simultaneously advancing on the key principles of sustainability. In recent years there has been an great deal of research invested in understanding the determinants of walking and cycling and their impacts on the environment, social equity and population health. The main objective of this Special Issue is to gather some of these new findings and promote knowledge for the study of pedestrian mobility in urban contexts by sharing new tools that allow walking and cycling to be incorporated into the center of urban, economic, social, environmental and health policies. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but it is not limited to: new insights on active travel determinants, active mobility during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the perceptions and experiences of pedestrians and other active travelers.
