FALL IN ❤️ WITH WALKING
At Pedestrian Space, one of my mantras is ‘Fall in Love with Walking’.
While an explicit purpose of the mission at Pedestrian Space is to highlight barriers to walkability, it is also extremely important to me to convey the passion for walking and walkable environments that many of us share (regardless if we have access to such environments).
As long as I am doing this work, I hope to never forget and be able to convey and communicate this passion as well as to help shape awareness about the framing and understanding of the will to walk as both a right and a value.
