The book: provides a theoretical and professional analysis of the main concepts behind the definition use and measurement of accessibility; undertakes a comprehensive inventory and critical analysis of accessibility instruments focusing on the bottlenecks in their transposition to planning practice; introduces and applies a novel methodology for the assessment and improvement of the practical use and usefulness of accessibility instruments; presents six in - depth illustrative case study applications of the methodology representing a range of cities with different geographical and institutional settings and different levels of urban and transport planning integration. The book is supported by a companion website www. accessibilityplanning. eu which extrapolates its content to a broader scope and keeps it updated and valid with new iterations of the methodology and further advances on the initial and new case studies.
