N2  - The objective of this paper is to assess issues concerning non-motorized transportation in developing countries. This assessment is done through an examination of three topics: a brief overview of the transportation picture in developing countries; a study of city size and city form vis-a-vis pedestrian movement; and, a look at the characteristics of non-motorized modes, including their capacities. An analysis and discussion attempt to sort out the crucial issues connected with pedestrian planning in particular, and non-motorized transport in general. It is concluded (1) that special attention be paid to space/time capacity/cost issues connected with non-motorized modes (2) that some of the low-cost intermediate technology modes be examined for possible inclusion in traffic streams (3) that land-use patterns need to be rearranged keeping in mind the limitations of non-motorized modes, and (4) that the extent to which physical trip-making can be substituted by telecommunication needs to be examined very critically. An agenda for action reflects these concerns.<p />
