Abstract: There has been a growing attention on accessibility concepts from both planning practice and research recognising their relevance in understanding the evolution of urban areas. However, despite the large number of accessibility measures available in the literature, they are not widely used to support urban planning practices. Much has been said about the implementation gap of Planning Support Systems with a significant attention paid to usability and more recently to the usefulness of Accessibility Instruments.
