Popis: As part of the methodology to better understand the lived experiences of older adults as they move through outdoor urban environments, an Urban Audit was developed comprising three tools—onsite observation, walking survey and photograph interview. This Chapter explicates one of these tools—the walking survey where older respondents were invited to walk along and share their experiences and feelings about their everyday neighbourhood spaces. The findings showed that social and recreational activities were strong pull factors attracting older people to public spaces.
