#MapOfTheWeek: The World's Most Walkable Cities

Walkable cities not only make daily errands easy, but they also encourage more physical activity and foster community. Walkability may seem like a simple concept, but it relies on the complex patterns of urban development. So, which cities across the globe already follow this model? Which city is the most walkable?

According to this study, it’s Milan, Italy. The average Milanese only needs to walk for seven minutes to reach key amenities, and 98% of Milan’s population lives in a 15-minute neighborhood. Expanding the list to the top 50 most walkable cities, Europe still outpaces the rest of the world. However, Asia is the only other continent to feature on the ranking.

Yet, walkability does not exist in a vacuum. Cities develop differently, for different needs, different communities, and different geographies. As cities continue to grow and change, the challenge is not just improving metrics—like walkability— but also understanding what those metrics mean.

The differences between cities are what make them interesting. Urban planning and sustainability are not and cannot be solved with just one approach because reality is more complicated than that.
