“…Since then, walkability has become even more crucial considering the unprecedented effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on urban mobility ( Gargiulo et al, 2021;Hayrullaho ğlu and Varol, 2022;Rahman and Thill, 2022;Transport, 2022 ). In July 2020, the European Commission ( European Platform on Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans, 2020 ) provided ad hoc guidelines for implementing short-term transport planning interventions to face the current critical situation.…”

“…Buildings and places with historical significance represent a part of the urban heritage characterized by a lower resilience value due to the combination of the high intrinsic vulnerability levels and cultural/historical value. However, such a built environment constitutes an exception to mainstream emergency management and urban transformation processes [9,10] due to the administrative-conservative laws that define its protection. This restrictiveness is also linked to the slow process of their creation and modification over time, which generated a multiplicity of morpho-organizational features on the district level and morpho-constitutive attributes (and thus performances) characterizing the building scale.…”

Recent critical events brought attention to the increasing exposure of urban environments to both slow and rapid onset disasters, which arise from both anthropogenic and natural causes. These events have particularly severe effects on historic centres, which are characterized by high levels of vulnerability and valuable assets exposed to risk. To minimize the impact on tangible and intangible cultural heritage values, especially in outdoor public areas such as squares and streets, it is crucial to establish coherent mitigative and adaptive solutions for different types of hazards. This research presents a methodology aimed at defining levels of multi-vulnerabilities in historic districts in the Apulia Region (Italy), considering the recurrent hazards to which the latter is prone. It uses a multi-step process based on structured and non-structured methodologies and tools for single risks, examined in combination, to determine the main properties characterizing the vulnerability assessment. The dataset was analyzed in a GIS environment to evaluate the selected Apulian case study (Molfetta) in Multi-Asynchronous Hazard scenarios, showing the compounded levels of criticalities for open areas and streets. This information is intended to support authority and emergency managers in identifying priority interventions and increasing the resilience of the outdoor public places.

“…According to the contributions of Manaugh and El-Geneidy [6], Speck [3], and Rani et al [7], as well as previous works carried out by the members of the consortium [8][9][10][11], the assessment of the level of walkability for women in urban environments can be defined through the following general criteria: (i) usefulness; (ii) comfort; (iii) safety; (iv) attractiveness. These criteria are applied through a gendered lens that considers genderbased dynamics such as mobility patterns (i.e., trip chaining) or social roles that influence individual behavior in urban space (i.e., care duties).…”

“…The work of Drăgut , escu et al [73] and Generalitat Valenciana [74] were designed as gender inclusion guides to support specific planning guidelines and laws in their respective territories. Drăgut , escu et al's work [73] is intended as a support guideline for the SUMPs within the European context, whereas Generalitat Valenciana [9] aims to support the law on territorial planning LOTUP for the city of Valencia. Generalitat Valenciana [74] elaborated on specific recommendations by different thematic content blocks of the LOTUP, including climate change, mobility, equipment, services, housing, etc.…”

The contributions of this paper are the result of a thematic review conducted on some of the most relevant scientific contributions and policy guidelines about women’s perception of safety while walking in public spaces. The first part of the review focused on 23 scientific references revolving around the keywords “gender”, “safety” and “walkability”. This led to the establishment of three main Safety Factors: (i) Spatial Features (space characteristics/morphological features); (ii) City Use (traces of behavior and presence of city users); and (iii) Hotspots (safe havens and no-go areas); further resulting in 19 sub-factors. The second part of the review covered a collection of 20 reports and 10 guidelines focused on diverse geographical scales, areas of interest and target audiences, as well as data collection methods. This involved the selection of multiple case studies, which are also presented, thus maintaining a geographically diverse sample. As part of the scientific research project “STEP UP—Walkability for Women in Milan”, the outputs of the proposed thematic review will be exploited to help identify challenging areas of Milan (Italy), as samples of analysis to develop a set of policy recommendations to enhance the level of walkability for women.
