| summary |
To walk represents one of the main ways of commuting, either by necessity or pleasure, it is a guaranteed way for everyone and it contributes significantly to the health and well-being of people. However, Medellín´s urban space design is not planned to improve walking conditions. In this context, a spatial index was built based on the components that influence the urban scene, which allows to evaluate the walking experience, not only its possibility, on an axis of the city. It concludes how these variables prioritize other actions and strategies that must be taken into consideration to build a walkable city. |
