As part of this rising concern we can highlight a scheme that has acquired great importance in processes to redesign cities, pedestrianization. Pedestrianization can be defined as restricting or eliminating [vehicle] traffic in a street or streets for the use of pedestrians only (Hass-Klau, 1993). A differentiation should be made between pedestrianization processes and traffic calming, defined as the application of measures such as road humps, tree planting or speed cushions to impress upon the driver that the street is primarily for shopping or residential use (Slinn, Matthews, & Guest, 2005).
