Understanding interactions between both sets of urban space users is the key to designing balanced environments that are efficient for both road traffic and pedestrians, safe and friendly for pedestrians to use, and environmentally sensitive.
Build Urban Spaces That People Want To Experience
The car is no longer king, people want to reclaim their streets and urban areas to use and enjoy. A growing trend throughout Europe and more recently in North America is to consider pedestrians as a primary mode of transportation; people can get there under their own steam and are increasingly happy to do so.
It is important to develop the new tools required by city planners now to ensure that techniques are available to accurately model our world’s changing requirements in the future. The UAF allows city planners to understand these interactions at the design stage, prior to implementation, thus improving the quality of understanding and providing a solid engineering foundation to aid the urban design decision making process.
