The Pedestrians' Quality Needs Project (PQN) established what people need to choose to walk. This summary provides an understanding of those needs and how they can be met and supported by policy. It is hoped that this summary will help practitioners: 1. Improve their understanding of how the management of public space, the transport network and the social, legal and political context interrelate to influence pedestrian behaviour. 2. Advance the effectiveness of future policy to support and encourage more walking. 3. Enthuse relevant organisations to work collaboratively at a local level to ensure the full potential for more walking is realised. 4. Stimulate further research projects to benefit pedestrians in Europe. The PQN Final Report consists of 3 main parts. Part A (Introduction and conceptual framework) and Part B (Documentation) contain the detailed project results. Part C, the report in front of you, gives general information about the project results. Part A and B are an integral part of the PQN Final Report, but, because of the large volume of the report parts, they are captured on a CD, which also contains a folder with additional documentation that was produced in the context of the project such as the Country Reports, a Short Term Scientific Mission (STSM) report about pedestrian conditions in the PQN countries, a literature study, that was carried out to support substantiation of the PQN model policy process and the results of a survey on data availability in European countries.
