Walking is the most democratic means of transportation, since everyone can use it. However, with the growth of cities, the use of cars and policies aimed at car use have increased. Observing this, researchers have dedicated themselves to studying the factors that encourage people to walk. Thus, the objective of this research is to propose a categorization of walkability models according to the urban network. In this sense, the Web of Science platform was adopted as a database. The results indicate that the walkability models proposed from the pedestrian perspective fit into the categories: central avenues, residential neighborhoods, and tourist areas. From the analysis, it is possible to observe divergences between the dimensions and variables of walkability considered relevant in the categories of urban spaces, revealing that a spatial cut of the urban network does not reflect the city as a whole.
