At our final conference we present our research approach and findings, and explore policy implications and future implementations for creating walking-friendly neighbourhoods. Based on our research findings we will also discuss the transfer¬ability of research methods, outcomes and policy implications to other European countries beyond the cities studied. In WalkUrban we investigated objective and perceived walkability in six neighbourhoods in three European cities: Genoa in Italy, Dortmund in Germany, and Gothenburg in Sweden.
