Abstract
More and more people will be living in urban areas. This requires responsive and inclusive urban planning, to keep the urban areas resilient, inclusive and sustainable. This also affects mobility in cities. Governments promote walking as a healthy and sustainable mode of transportation. However, the pressure on pedestrian infrastructure is rapidly increasing, while large crowds gather more and more frequently. We therefore need to get more insights in what pedestrian planning entails. This chapter covers the conclusions of all contributions to this book, ranging from insights into pedestrian traffic flow through data and insights in behavior to different types of models and crowd management. The chapter ends with an overview of innovations in pedestrian planning and management, and what is needed to keep urban regions sustainable and attractive for pedestrians and crowds.
