Mobility and Walkability

What is mobility and walkability?

Walkable World: Walking Towards the Urban Mobility of the Future

At Walkable World, we know that a city where people can move freely, safely, and sustainably is a city that thrives. That's why one of our fundamental pillars is mobility and walkability, two intertwined concepts that define how we experience and connect with our urban environment.

More than Getting Around: The Art of Living in the City

Mobility goes beyond simply getting from point A to point B. It's about the freedom to choose how to get around, whether by efficient public transportation, bicycle, or foot, in an accessible and affordable way. It's the ability to access opportunities, services, and social connections regardless of age, income, or physical ability.

Walkability, on the other hand, focuses on the quality of the pedestrian experience. It's not just about having sidewalks, but about creating walkable environments that invite us to explore and enjoy the city on foot. This involves:

• Safe streets: With well-marked pedestrian crossings, friendly traffic lights, and low vehicular traffic.

• Wide and well-maintained sidewalks: Free of obstacles and accessible for people with reduced mobility.

• Adequate lighting: To walk safely at night.

• Green and shaded spaces: To make the route more pleasant.

• Convenient connections: Allowing easy access to public transportation, shopping, and other destinations.

A Virtuous Circle: Mobility + Walkability = Living Cities

At Walkable World, we believe that mobility and walkability reinforce each other, creating a virtuous cycle that transforms urban life:

• More people walking: Reduces traffic congestion and pollution.

• Safer streets: They promote local commerce and social activity.

• More connected communities: Strengthen a sense of belonging and social cohesion.

• Healthier cities: Promote physical activity and well-being.

At Walkable World, we are committed to:
