<description>Walking is the wealthiest and fairest, healthiest, safest and strongest, smartest and greenest&#xd;
form of transport (Government of Scotland, 2014). Since Walking is part of the daily life&#xd;
of most people, that is why it is often taken for granted.&#xd;
To achieve a city for pedestrians, urban planners must reflect on how to stop designing&#xd;
cities with dispersed, discontinuous, and car-centric urban models, because it will be&#xd;
impossible to reverse this trend of development. Currently, contemporary cities must face&#xd;
the stress of its population, due to the speed of urban life, traffic congestion, long travel&#xd;
distances, etc.&#xd;
This research is underpinned by how pedestrian's scale contributes to better urban&#xd;
environments and for the welfare of citizens through the development and implementation&#xd;
of policies and strategies for encouraging walking. To address this issue, it tries to identify&#xd;
the factors that determine walking, and it explores some existing strategies at three&#xd;
administrative levels: local, regional, and national. In this regard, it proposes push and pull&#xd;
measures as the potential to help more people to walk. The city of Pontevedra is selected as&#xd;
a case study because it is considered a case of success. The results indicate that there is&#xd;
necessarily a transversal organization of mobility in the administration, adequate&#xd;
combinations of pull and push measures have shown to have the greatest effect, and&#xd;
interventions tailored to different parts of the city.</description>
