Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between research and practice in pedestrian planning, focusing on the pedestrian plan in the United States. A preliminary review of plans and research was used to identify 17 aspects of pedestrian planning. These were ranked in importance through a survey of pedestrian planners at the local and metropolitan levels. A qualitative comparison of the importance attributed these features in planning research, the planners' rankings of these features, and presence and use of these features in plans was conducted. Areas of considerable discrepancy were analyzed more thoroughly, indicating areas where planning practice can benefit from present research, and where planning research could be informed by planning practice.
