Walking is a fundamental part of human day-to-day activity. It is important that we create a safe, attractive and accessible environment that enriches Londoners experience.
The Walking Plan for London identifies all the key issues relevant to walking in London and proposes how they can be addressed in a practical and cost effective way. The plan includes six key objectives to achieve the Mayor's vision to make London one of the most walking friendly cities in the world by 2015.
The plans short-term target is to:
- Stop the decline in the number of journeys per person on foot
The long term 2015 targets are to increase:
- The modal share of walking for trips under two miles by ten per cent
- The average number of trips made on foot per person/per year by 10 per cent
- The level of London's walkability both in terms of people's perceptions and in actual measured terms against other world cities.
