This article presents the development and piloting of a participatory group tool to evaluate and rate the quality of streets for walking from the viewpoint of older adults, designed as a simple and practical perceived built-environment measure for action and research purposes. The pilot study took place in two cities (Lisbon and Odivelas) in Portugal, and involved 32 older residents and local partners.engHealthy communitiesOlder adultsUrban planningjournal article10.1080/02763893.2016.1224791
