70 percent of the world’s population is a pedestrian, whether they drive or take public transit. However, for the last forty years, Indian planning has prioritized automotive use over pedestrian movement. This approach has created a car-dependent society where walking is difficult and dangerous. However, when constructing towns and streets, pedestrians should be considered. People are becoming more conscious of the negative consequences of excessive automobile use and are supporting walkable neighborhoods. In 2018, pedestrians were wounded in 139 accidents in Jalandhar, one of Punjab’s largest and oldest cities. As a result, Jalandhar’s walkability is declining in terms of pedestrian safety, comfort, and convenience. Thus, this book examines the differences between research and actual walkability in Jalandhar, as well as several walkability indices. This book analyses and recommends ways to improve Jalandhar’s pedestrian environment and its impact on the city’s future.
