  1. Which measures could London take to encourage a shift to walking these short distances?

Well a lot of measures could be taken : have a true will to "punish" cars parked on sidewalks and bike lanes, lower speed limitation (30 km/h for the whole town), less car lanes, higher parking prices...

  1. Estimate the potential in your city: How many journeys could be made by foot or bike each day that are currently done by motorised modes?
 A lot more... The objective for Lyon is 7.5% of modal share for bikes in 2020, I think we can perhaps achieve that, but we could be much higher, probably around 20% for cycling, and 20-30% for walking ?
