Guidelines to converting vehicular streets to predominately pedestrian use are offered in this handbook. Two main sections concern reasons for pedestrian zoning and ways to implement pedestrian zoning. Pedestrian malls provide practical solutions to some urgent city problems: deteriorating economic and physical situations, a declining quality of life, pollution, congestion, and the flight of the middle class. The pedestrian mall can provide new life to a downtown area by improving the business of local merchants and by attracting residents from nearby suburban areas. Traffic management in central districts can improve the city's environmental quality by reducing noise and air pollution, and it also allows for the preservation of historic districts and landmarks. Tourists and residents of all ages and from all social strata are drawn to pedestrian malls which feature special amenities for relaxation, entertainment, and communication. Planning the pedestrian mall involves an extensive analysis of local physical, economic, and social resources. The legal aspects and funding strategies that must be examined before implementing a pedestrian mall require the participation of lawyers in both the advocacy and planning process. A close working relationship should exist between designers, contractors, and the community to express community needs. Implementation management involves an entire process which prepares for, includes, and follows construction. Guidelines and recommendations are based on data from numerous experiments documenting various approaches and their impact on city life. Numerous photographs, tables, charts, and graphs illustrate the text.
