Abstract

While walking is recognised as being good for both health and environmental sustainability, the “goods” of walking are curtailed for the many citizens who experience gender-based street harassment. There is a prominent gap in the scholarship on the impact of daytime street harassment on walkability which this work fills. Based on research from Cardiff, Wales, we show that daytime street harassment discourages users from marginalised groups from choosing walking as a transport mode, extending conceptual work on the right to everyday life.
