Developed in Scotland, this toolkit helps local authorities to improve our towns and cities for those on foot, and to tackle barriers to active lifestyles.
Engaging communities in Scotland
We work with communities to help local residents reclaim their streets. Together, we identify what can make their areas better and how they can create safe, attractive streets where people want to walk.
In 2008-20011 we worked 12 communities across Scotland to achieve long-lasting impact. Read some of the stories.
