Abstract

The paper analyzes the performance of different street plans to determine which variables are present in each type, as first step to creating a walkability index. Three neighborhoods of Lisbon are used as case studies: (a) Campo de Ourique - with a grid street plan - (b) Graça ”“ with irregular roads - and (c) Telheiras - with a contemporary street plan. It was found that the grid-based street plan has more road homogeneity, a lower straightness index and a higher average integration index. The contemporary street plan performs the worst, while the organic street plan is ranked in the middle.
