The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) is “a global organization at the forefront of innovation, using technical expertise, direct advocacy, and policy guidance to mitigate the impacts of climate change, improve air quality, and support prosperous, sustainable, and equitable cities.”

The ITDP website has a wide range of studies and reports, and tools such as Pedestrians First, which allows you to measure how your city is doing in terms of its walkability, by looking at things such as “Cars approach the intersection slowly enough for an elderly person or young child to feel safe crossing the street” and “There is room to walk comfortably on the walkways without feeling crowded”. In addition to reviewing aspects of walkability, Pedestrians First also provides recommendations for areas that are falling short.
