There are many negative effects from a lack of physical activity and much to gain from regular exercise. Walking is a basic form of exercise but we have only recently begun to understand how important the potential to walk is in our cities. Walkability is a concept which measures how friendly an area is to walking. In this episode of The Urban Squeeze, Tony and Jason discuss how important it is for cities to be walkable. They consider the pressure points inspiring planning to think about walkability and examine how urban design can help or hinder our potential to walk around the cities we live in and visit. @CityByrne @drtonymatthews @MattWebberWrite
