What is it about?
Walking has been studied extensively in recent years. However, one is still hard pressed to find research examining what makes urban settings of different sizes across the Atlantic Ocean conducive to walking, especially in the presence of greenways and green open spaces (...) The findings comprise the distillation of new results in the analysis of spaces of flows and permanence across the Atlantic Ocean. https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/17/7/2897

Why is it important?
It examines streets and greenways in small town Ballyclare (North. Ireland), mid-size city Leiria (Portugal), and spread-out suburban city Scottsdale (AZ, USA) with a distillation of spaces of flows and permanence. Please read it to find out more. Thank you.
Perspectives
We argue that said codes ought to also be aimed at increasing the quality of public spaces and not only their flow capacities. This paper examines streets and greenways in Ballyclare, Leiria, and Scottsdale.
