Walkable urban places are in high demand but in too many communities-even in the top tier metro areas-we make it illegal to build these types of places. Outdated zoning and decades of misguided incentives and regulations continue to promote more sprawl instead of creating highly productive, connected, walkable places.
Foot Traffic Ahead shows that there is huge unmet demand for more walkable places and not nearly enough supply. Meeting this pent-up demand for WalkUPs would create a new economic foundation for the U.S. economy, one far more resilient than the old model predicated on suburban growth.
Take a look at the full report to see the rankings and for more information about future growth, housing, and social equity in America's walkable urban places.
