walkable streets
Strollable urban pathways
Streets designed so that walking is practical, safe, and pleasant for everyday travel.
Walkable streets typically feature sidewalks, crosswalks, moderate traffic speeds, and destinations close enough together that driving becomes optional.
The term appears frequently in urban planning discussions: The neighborhood's walkable streets support local businesses.
Walkability has become a selling point for real estate and a metric for quality of life.
