A strong case can be made for producing walking maps, that is, maps specifically for pedestrians. These include economic, environmental, health, tourism, transport and regeneration perspectives. The Department for Transport has published guidance, which through research and case studies, considers the needs of people on foot and focuses on the processes to follow, the questions to ask and the pitfalls to avoid in drawing up a walking map. The principles, tools and examples in this guidance could also help employers and developers draw up travel plans for their organisations. This document is the first publication for Walk England (http://www.walkengland.org.uk), a body supported by The Big Lottery Fund and The Department for Transport to encourage people to walk more regularly. It is hoped that this guidance will be updated regularly informed by best practice as it develops and as further research is released.
