The article provides an overview of scientific and practical work on the issue of pedestrian accessibility in world practice. There are two main groups of publications. The first group is focused on the factors influencing the increase in the number of pedestrians, and the second - on the measurement and evaluation of these factors. Two approaches to assessing the factors characteristic of the components of the passability parameters are considered. It was revealed that the indication of the density of the road network and the issues of pedestrian accessibility of the city of Tashkent do not meet the accepted standards. The relationship between different types of movement is considered, where priority is given to pedestrians and cyclists. Various existing indexes for assessing pedestrian accessibility are analyzed and a conclusion is made about the need to develop an index of pedestrian accessibility for the conditions of the Republic of Uzbekistan using the example of Tashkent.
