6. There are several health advantages to
walking, there are additional benefits to
having a walkable city: economically. And
you also don’t need to worry about parking.
Latest developments in Urban Design
suggest that all residences in a city should
be no more than 300 meters from a green
space. This has led to an interest in creating
small green spaces, rather than larger parks
and open areas.
