This article proposes a set of indicators that assess active mobility capacity at the neighborhood level as the most sustainable mode of mobility for people. It also refers to public transport as a component that requires good connection and distribution throughout the territory. It fits well with the topics addressed in sustainable cities -urban transport systems, given that studies on urban form are positioned as sources of explanation, management, and monitoring of mobility practices. Therefore, the discussion about active and passive modes provides guidelines for improving transport and urban development policies towards urban sustainability in a broad sense.
Keywords: Urban design and planing, vitality of the built-environment, sense of place, Active mobility, Active interface
