摘要
This study investigates the reliability of microscale walkability assessment by analysing the correspondence of the evaluations obtained using three different street-auditing tools, which are similar from a methodological perspective and regarding time consumption. The comparison of the evaluation of 1314 street segments-from a wide range of urban fabrics in Toledo, Spain-shows low consensus between the three audits. This research explores the reasons behind this and offers a comparative understanding of the examined tools. The paper describes their limitations, highlights the need for further research into the relationship between the streetscape and pedestrian mobility, and calls for more context-specific auditing tools.
