A warm welcome to Living Streets' UK Walking Summit 2025

That is the question we will explore today, with keynote speakers and panellists from around the UK sharing their experience of the benefits of investment in walkable communities.

The Summit follows the launch of our Pedestrian Pound report. The research shows that people who walk or wheel to do their shopping spend more money and pedestrianised high streets see bigger sales. This latest edition broadens the evidence base for improved walking environments to include the benefits of happier and healthier people, stronger communities and a more resilient environment. Today we will explore these benefits to demonstrate an excellent return on investment.

We are delighted to bring our Summit to Bristol, and to shine a spotlight on the work being undertaken in the city and wider region to reimagine streets for walking and wheeling. 

We are excited for our workshops – online, in the venue and our ‘walkshops’ in the streets of Bristol, so you can see the change for yourself and consider streets from a new perspective. 

I want to say a huge thank you to our headline sponsor Atkins Realis and our hosts Bristol City Council, to Aecom and Arup for supporting this year’s Summit, and to all the speaker’s and Chair who graciously gave their time. 

You can browse this page to see our itinerary, information about afternoon walkshops, biographies of our speakers, plus everything else you need for the day. 

And don't forget to join in on social media - whether you are in Bristol or joining us online. The hashtag is #WalkingSummit. 

However you join us, thank you, I hope you enjoy the day!

Walk 3 - Our streets not ad streets: reimagining public space without corporate advertising

Overview: Outdoor advertising imposes value-laden imagery and messaging on our public spaces intended to promote consumption. In this walkshop we will playfully explore the values presented in outdoor ads, and question whether they align with our own visions for a healthy, happy, people-centred public realm.

We will collage our ideas into a ‘cover-up’, in which we briefly reclaim a piece of advertising space to imagine streets that reflect values outside the constraints of a profit-driven economy.

Length: Long (please arrive promptly)

Terrain: Fully accessible

Led by Ad Free Cites

Walk 4 - Walk and Wheel in our shoes! What is it like to navigate the city centre as a Disabled person.

Overview: Kyrby Brown, WECILs Access Coordinator supported by members of WECILs Access and Inclusion Team (WAIT) will be leading a wheel/walk to highlight how Disabled people navigate the public realm and the common barriers that prevent or hinder travel.

Join this walk to understand what good accessibility looks like and to learn the importance of considering access and including Disabled people when designing the public realm.

Length: Short

Terrain: The route is accessible, but will include some cobbles for demonstration purposes

Led by Kyrby Brown, West of England Centre for Inclusive Living

Walk 5 - Women’s safety - Getting Home Safely: developing inclusive places using perceived safety assessments

Overview: AtkinsRéalis’ Getting Home Safely initiative was founded on the belief that everyone deserves to feel safe in public spaces. Building on established place-based audit tools to assess walkability and pedestrian comfort, our experts in ED&I, transport planning and urban created the “Getting Home Safely Audit” to focus specifically on gender-based safety indicators.

Join us on this walk and audit to identify issues and potential changes to improve actual and perceived safety. .

Length: Short

Terrain: Fully accessible

Led by Adrienne Mathews & Kelly Cary, AtkinsRéalis

Walk 6 - Bristol Airmap: Quantifying TAG's Journey Quality to Boost Active Travel Choices

Overview: While Transport Analysis Guidance (TAG) acknowledges journey quality influences travel choices, it lacks methods to quantify this effect. The Airmap is a healthy journey planning tool, created by Tranquil City & Go Jauntly, which bridges this gap by prioritising routes with better air quality, lower noise, and more greenery, whilst communicating these incentives to the public.

This walkshop explores how environmental quality affects walking decisions by guiding participants through contrasting urban environments. Join Tranquil City's team to measure how journey quality impacts walking preferences—demonstrating a practical application of TAG's framework. Experience first hand how quantifying environmental factors and communicating this to the public has the power to transform guidance into actionable approaches for increasing active travel.

Length: Medium

Terrain: 29 steps leading to Anchor Road and another 14 leading into Brandon Hill green space

Led by Tranquil City

Walk 7 - Walkie Talkies

Overview: A short walk and talk around the centre for great conversation about Bristol, the positive experiences walking here as a woman of colour and the not so positive experiences. We'll share thoughts on how we try to keep ourselves safe whilst walking, and the changes we would like to see.

Length: Medium

Terrain: TBC

Led by Sophia Brown, Bristol Steppin Sistas

Along the way, we’ll reflect on how each route affects the walking experience and explore what could make both routes safer, more accessible, and even more attractive.

The walk will be led by Footways CIC. Footways collaborates with communities and transport authorities to create quiet, enjoyable walking routes. The organisation also campaigns for better walking infrastructure and produces beautiful printed and digital maps to promote everyday walking.

Length: Medium

Terrain: Fully accessible

Led by Emma Griffin & David Harrison, London Living Streets & Co-Founders of Footways CIC

Walk 13 - Together: Supporting new parents and their babies to walk their neighbourhoods and beyond

Overview: Having a baby or young children can be joyful, isolating, exhausting and exquisite all within the same hour. UK parents face many challenges, but what if every new parent was supported to experience the benefits of walking and feel confident getting into nature, not only with their baby but with other new parents too?

Join Blaze Trails for a green city walk to talk about how parent and baby walking groups offer a simple but impactful way of nurturing connection, improving mental health, and helping families to love where they live.

OUR SPONSORS

We thank our host Bristol City Council and our headline sponsor, AtkinsRéalis, for making the 2025 UK Walking Summit possible.

AtkinsRéalis: Enabling Active Travel

AtkinsRéalis is dedicated to “Engineering a better future for our planet and its people,” with a national team of active travel experts driving innovation across the UK. Our work spans the full project lifecycle. From policy and behavioural change to planning, design, and construction, we deliver inclusive, safe, high-quality infrastructure that encourages people to walk and cycle.

We invest in developing approaches and toolkits to demonstrate our commitment to inclusive design, community engagement, and creating safer, more accessible public spaces for all, with two of these toolkits being demonstrated at the Walking Summit as below.

A key innovation is our tactile model tool, which empowers individuals with visual impairments to engage with infrastructure designs through touch. These 3D-printed models, developed from 2D drawings, use scaled features and raised text (instead of braille) to communicate layout and design elements. This inclusive approach ensures that visually impaired users can meaningfully participate in consultations that shape the environments they use.

Another standout initiative is the Getting Home Safely Assessment, which integrates gender-sensitive design into public spaces. This tool enhances traditional place audits by focusing on the safety of women and girls, especially during nighttime. It supports evidence-based decisions for safety improvements and has been successfully applied in projects like Royal Leamington Spa’s ‘Mini Holland’, involving diverse community stakeholders.

The 2025 UK Walking Summit is generously supported by event sponsor, AECOM.
