Mobility and walkability Pedestrian area Undoubtedly, mobility and walkability are some of the main indicators when studying the typology of 15M neighborhoods. In the Vimodrone area, we have identified a low level of walkability despite having a small scale and all services relatively close to the built-up area. This is due to the low quality of the pedestrian areas present, these areas do not generate safety to pedestrians, directly influencing the vitality and appropriation of space by pedestrians - inhabitants. Regarding the pedestrian area, we have several typologies such as narrow and wide spaces or

sidewalks, and in other cases we do not even have sidewalks but painted lines on the ground. Most of the pedestrian areas are narrow, followed by larger areas and spaces without sidewalks, mostly in the north and south zones, in the central zone we find mainly areas without sidewalks, only with painted lines that indicate the spaces dedicated to pedestrians, here is where we can appreciate more preference to the automobile. In conclusion, the walkability of the area is compromised by the lack of quality and safety with respect to the roadway of the cars in the pedestrian areas and the lack of sidewalks.
