Pedestrian Strategie Styria

The project Pedestrian Strategy Styria aims to develop a strategy and a funding guideline for the design of pedestrian-friendly public spaces and to increase the share of walking in the municipalities of Styria. In particular, the (re)design of traffic areas is in focus.
With a series of proposals for concretely realisable measures, the strategy is intended to support the attractiveness of pedestrian traffic and to inspire and motivate the responsible decision-makers to make these improvements a reality. In this way, the importance of pedestrian mobility for a sustainable development of our mobility, for the revitalisation and liveliness of public and semi-public spaces, for community development, climate protection and, last but not least, for the health of each and every individual is taken into account.
As an integrative component of these implementations, the draft of a funding guideline for pedestrian-friendly measures in municipalities will be created. For this purpose, the project team will examine existing good practice examples, carry out spatial analyses and use methods of qualitative social research to ascertain and integrate the current needs, possibilities and opportunities in the best possible way.
