What is “walkability”?

www.Walkscore.com takes into account shopping centers, restaurants, libraries, and coffee shops. Movie theaters, churches, parks, and all kinds of other fun places you love to visit. 

Recent research shows that residents of walking-friendly neighborhoods weigh, on average, 7 pounds less than the not so walking-friendly neighborhoods. Neighborhoods are also safer, friendlier, and cleaner.

Residents of walkable neighborhoods drive less and suffer fewer car accidents.

You can also find the walkability of some famous places such as The Soprano’s House, The White House, and Friends apartment building.  Fun!

The future is coming fast. Soon we will all have to learn to be green. Why wait? Start walking now and discover the positive effect it will have on your life and your environment.
