From the archives - walkability

"Walkability" is a word urbanists throw around, often with different ideas as to what it really means, or why we care about it. As a literal descriptor, being “walkable” simply means a place can be walked, in the same sense that “readable” means it can be read. There are different levels of walkability just as how asentencewithoutspaces is still readable, just less readable than a sentence with spaces."

"To measure if a trip is walkable, there are four factors we should consider: safety, distance, convenience, and comfort."
