Public art and enhanced streetscapes will enrich our visual experiences. Investors and potential residents will be looking for real towns filled with community spirit, attractive architecture with links to the past, centralized amenities such as civic centers, parks, recreation, entertainment, restaurants, retail services, learning centers, schools and colleges, all without having to drive miles to get to them. Many towns and cities will become destinations as well as the places we call home. This community model will encourage public interaction among all community members and groups, which in turn will facilitate the realization of our shared visions and participation of community. Walkability is the cornerstone and key to an urban area's efficient ground transportation.
Every trip begins and ends with walking.
Walking remains the cheapest form of transport for all people, and the construction of a walkable community provides the most affordable transportation system any community can plan, design, construct and maintain. Walkable communities are more liveable communities and lead to whole, happy, healthy lives for the people who live in them. Share your concerns, learn from other professionals, and discover how your community can grow to its maximum.
