 Let’s not kid ourselves – Old World European cities beat the pants off of the U.S. in terms of walkability, quality of mass transit, and even bike friendliness. This is largely because the design of modern American cities focused on cars while traditional urban design was for, well, people! But some U.S. cities are waking up and taking part of their landscape back from the cars.
From Carfree USA:
Walkable urbanism is spreading beyond the boundaries of inner cities and into the suburbs as Gen Xers and empty nesters search for communities offering a walkable lifestyle, according to the book The Option of Urbanism: Investing in a New American Dream. Photo via flickr by James Ashburn.
