"The Pedestrian and the City is a much-needed contribution to contemporary pedestrian pfenning
that astutely interweaves planning history with current planning efforts, travel behavior and
safety research, and the experience of walking. The rich case studies from the UK, Germany,
Denmark, Norway, Canada and the US illustrate cities' on-the-ground efforts to ^
infrastructureand initiatives, their successes and limits. Drawing on her expertise as^oth practitioner
and researcher, Hass^lau's
critiraľeva^
illuminates the potential for a pedestrian-oriented future even if, as the books so clearly shows, few
cities have reached that ideal."

"The book of Carmen Hass-Klau gives a fantastic overview of the planning and politics related to
walking and problems of pedestrians in the last
30
years. The book starts with an interesting historical
contribution about the role of the pedestrian in Britain and Germany in the last century. Then it gives
the probably best overview of practical examples of larger cities all over the world that promote
walking. This is a very welcome addition to the literature for everyone who is interested in walking as
a mode of transport."

The Pedestrian and the City provides an overview of and insight into the development and politics
of, and policies on; walking and pedestrians: it covers the evolution of pedestrian-friendly housing
estates and the attempts to create independent pedestrian footpaths from the nineteenth century up
to the present day. Key issues addressed are the fight against urban motorways, the destruction of
walkable neighborhoods through road building, the struggle of pedestrianization, and the popularity
of traffic calming as a powerful policy for reducing pedestrian accidents.
Hass-Klau also embraces past and present practical research in walking, where US contributions
continue to be important. The book provides detailed insights from
26
cities, of which
16
are from
North America, and the rest from Germany, Norway, Denmark and Britain, as well as references
to other European countries and cities. Each city includes general transport information and more
specific walking issues, such as pedestrianization and other forms of car-restraining policies.
Each of the cities was visited and discussions with local officials took place, and information was
critically assessed through numerous site visits and photographs.
As the pedestrian environment becomes ever more crucial for the future of our cities, the book
will be invaluable to students and practicing planners, geographers, transport engineers and local
government officers.
