Best Practices in
Pedestrian Wayfinding
This is a 90-minute webinar
Walking benefits a city’s transportation system, economy,
and public health. Wayfinding designed specifically for walkers encourages pedestrian
traffic by helping people navigate—whether they are tourists, residents, new
walkers or persons with disabilities. During this 90-minute webinar, agency
staff and consultants who pioneered legible city wayfinding projects in London
and Bristol describe state-of-the-art programs in Philadelphia, Vancouver and
New York City. Planners, engineers, and elected officials should attend this
webinar to explore the principles of legible city wayfinding and learn how to
create a complete movement and information system for walkers.
Information included in this session:
·
How wayfinding requirements for pedestrians
differ from other modes
·
The concepts and principles of legible city
wayfinding, including the need to shape universal ideas to the local context
·
Steps to build a program, from policy through
design, finance and implementation
·
The architecture and elements of a wayfinding system,
including the role of social and digital media
·
How to maintain and manage a system
·
Ways to add value by connecting to transit and
other modes and leveraging GIS data to serve multiple systems and partners
