The idea for a ‘Walkability Challenge to Cities’ series was born at a recent GWCN session. In dialogue with @vannymwamba @officialurbanhikers @jstallz @pedestriandignity Corey, a discussion came up about ‘codified visions for supporting #walkability’. We began discussing various roles we had heard about, at the municipal level, devoted entirely to pedestrian issues as well as things like national walking strategies, municipal pedestrian plans & related matters.
So the idea came up to launch a series in which we can explore all these topics, creatively challenge cities to look at, develop & adopt such measures as well as invite those who already work in such progressive & practical capacities – in roles to support walkability in their communities- to a GWCN roundtable to share about their work.
Today’s brainstorming session was a great kick-off to more collaborative planning for this series. Thank you to all who participated! @raluca_hurmuz @harrisonthefabulous @raphaelmakstudio Gil Sonali
