New study shows that pedestrian behavior in Barcelona varies significantly between neighborhoods.

Factors that encourage walking in one part of the city may discourage it in others.

Researchers warn policymakers that city-wide mobility solutions may not reflect complexity of urban environments.

To improve urban planning, they recommend introducing mobility policies tailored to the specific needs and characteristics of each neighborhood.

Green spaces generally show a negative correlation with footfall.

This is because many parks are located on the outskirts of the city or in less accessible areas.

The authors of the study emphasize that their research could serve as an important tool for urban planners.

By using data from pedestrian count sensors, it is possible to gain detailed, real-time insights into mobility patterns.
