Resumen

Since the 1990s, the pedestrian is already important in the mobility plans of the cities. Since then, there is an extensive bibliography where the relationship between the volume of pedestrians in an area and the characteristics of the environment is established, giving rise to multivariable models that are difficult to calculate. The purpose of this article is to reduce the number of variables through a stepwise linear regression model. It is concluded that connectivity and urban mobilization in primary areas, the presence of bars and offices in secondary areas and connectivity, residential density and mixed-use areas in tertiary areas are key factors that must be taken into account in future urban planning.
