The 2009 workshop focused on
performance indicators to assess walking and public spaces. Building on the
wealth of the experiences by the workshop participants and on the already
existing indicators from areas such as health, environment, safety and
planning, we assembled and selected
those indicators most relevant and important. The result of the workshop is the
Walk21 Assessment Model and a list of indicators and dimensions which
were agreed should be measured.
The workshop was
attended by 70 people from 20 different countries representing all continents
and a diversity of professional backgrounds. This means that the list is
broadly based in the walking world and carries considerable legitimacy.
Five input presentations provided an overview
and insight into indicator sets already used in different contexts.
