Walking provides significant benefits to the city: it is not only a sustainable mode of transport, but it also brings vitality to public space and, as various studies have shown, improves the physical and mental health of its inhabitants. For these reasons, walking should be promoted through urban planning and design, as proposed by Chile's recent National Urban Development Policy (PNDU).
This seminar will evaluate the health impacts that should be incorporated into transport projects, as well as their implications for public policy in the sector.

The architects invited to participate in this first touring cycle hail from Concepción, Castro, Valdivia, and Santiago.
