NEW APPROACHES TO PEDESTRIAN PROBLEMS

A TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MORE RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS OF PERSONS IN THE PEDESTRIAN MODE IS ENVISIONED AND DISCUSSED. THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS SEEN AS STRIKING A BALANCE AMONG THE COMPETITORS FOR URBAN TRAVEL SPACE: BETWEEN THE CAPACITIES OF THE STREET NETWORK AND PARKING FACILITIES, BETWEEN THESE TWO CAPACITIES AND THAT OF BUILDINGS IN THE SAME AREA, BETWEEN THE DESIGN OF THE BUILT-UP AREA AND THE ABILITY TO MOVE ABOUT IT ON FOOT, BETWEEN TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL STABILITY, AND BETWEEN TRANSPORTATION FUNCTIONS AND THE HUMAN SCALE.
