What Makes a City 'Walkable' or 'Unwalkable'?

A city feels walkable when you can go from one place to another without getting tired or confused. Imagine walking through a park with lots of shops and restaurants nearby, that’s easy! But if the streets are too far apart, full of cars, and there aren’t any sidewalks, it's hard to walk anywhere.

A walkable city helps people stay healthy and happy because they can move around easily. If a city is not walkable, like a place where you have to drive everywhere, it’s easier for people to feel tired or even unhealthy.
