What are the most walkable cities?
>>2050194In the US? Chicago.
>>2050194Most big name cities on the East Coast. Boston, New York, Philly, DC, Baltimore, Providence, Charleston, Richmond.
>>2050232this nigga thinks he's gonna walk in Baltimore or Richmond
>>2050233I've walked around Baltimore plenty. It's not any worse than Chicago or New York.
>>2050194New York. San Francisco. Never been to Chicago but it looks super walkable. Lots of college towns & 19th century cities have walkable downtown cores too.
The serious answer, Philadelphia. Majority of the streets are incredibly narrow by US standards, mostly ~20-30 ft wide, so you can easily cross them at almost any point without having to wait for stop lights or cars. The only problem is: it's Philadelphia.
>>2050366>people say walkable>post pics like thatbruv if I can't push my nan in a wheelchair down the street without her losing 4 teeth not sure it countsMeanwhile here in Taipei the sidewalks are full of electic unicycles because it's completely flat and safe to ride on
San Francisco
>>2050379>wheelchair>walkable
When I hear "walkable" it means either lots of good public transit such that I won't need a car or so small I can walk end to end on the entire town in 30 minutes. "walkable city" indicates the former to me.
>>2050395this isn't even the entire station map either. It doesn't include the Metra lines out to Naperville, Aurora, Joliet...
>>2050382Kek
>>2050379>Meanwhile here in Taipei the sidewalks are full of electic unicycles because it's completely flat and safe to ride onEvery major US city has app-rentable electric scooters now
>>2050204Maybe if you want to get shot by niggers as soon as it gets dark.I'd pick walking through random ghetto alleys in NYC than even walking the Riverwalk after dark.Joke of a city.
>>2050379There is a sideway
>>2050499Just be a BD and you'll be fine
>>2050382>>2050379seems quite trippable, theres a lack of funding and/or priority to maintain and improve walkways in America I guess
>>2050194In Europe, I remember both Brussels and Amsterdam being pretty damn walkable. Amsterdam is an obvious choice as traffic is often slowed down until cars reach the actual roads, hell, cars are pretty much discouraged in many parts. Bikes, pedestrians and trams ftw!In Brussels I remember there were a good bunch of really really REALLY wide streets were cars weren't allowed at all (unless there were special circumstances like large deliveries or whatever). Lots of ebikes, escooters, pedestrians... Was really neat to be able to walk in such open spots.
>>2050194NYC by default because of the heavy rail coverage.
>>2050194I know liking Japan is unfashionable these days, but having lived and worked in Tokyo (lived in Asakusabashi, office was in Sotokanda) I think it's really damn hard to beat. >insanely good transit coverage, hard to be more than 15 mins from a station>tons of pedestrian-focused amenities, and very high density of shops, restaurants, etc. so you're always walking distance from basic necessities and rarely have to go far on transit for more specialized things>most streets are small and have almost no traffic>good sidewalks on major streets, and they often have bridges or tunnels at major crossings>exceptionally safe>climate is walkable all year, even if summer can suck a bit>mostly pretty much flat>culture that actually works for walking and keeps foot traffic flowing smoothly (unless you're in a tourist-infested area)
>>2051449I found that for shorter distances it's not very practical to move around in public transport. So at times I had to walk maybe 15-20 minutes because taking the subway wouldn't have been possible and there was no useful bus either. Like it's all laid out on a very large scale yet lacking a finer mesh of public transport.Of course this is complaining on a very high level, considering that Tokyo has probably the best urban layout of any of the mega cities worldwide, being as you say walkable, with compact neighborhoods and excellent public transport.
>>2050194Disney Land or Disney World, because actual "walkable cities" are a fantasy.
>>2051479I think it'd be tough to make it much "finer" than it actually is, 15-20 minutes isn't awful and beyond that the web of lines and infrastructure would get insanely complex and take up an inordinate amount of space.
>>2051409you just want to remove the sovl
>>2050232>>2050233Baltimore is mostly fine to walk around. The sidewalks aren't as well maintained in a lot of places compared to DC, NY, or even Philly but you can get around pretty easy.
>>2050366I'm pretty sure Baltimore had streets like this but the urban fabric was changed after a major fire took place
>>2051515>Disney Land or Disney WorldHonestly kind of true though. Disneyland has multiple means of public transport, Main St. USA has horses and trollies, there's a railroad you can ride to take you around the park and stops at multiple stations, there's a series of trams to take you from the parking area to Downtown Disney and there's a Monorail to take you from the parking areas directly into the park itself. Walt Disney was a massive train nerd.
