Mixed-use street in Bitola, Macedonia
Source: Wikipedia article on walkability
I've been starting to research more into walkability, and found this neat site that calculates how walkable your neighbourhood is. The algorithm takes into account nearby amenities, but not pedestrian design/safety.
My only criticism is - I'm from a very walkable neighbourhood, but moving my location about 30 m closer to the main thoroughfare (and still on the same block) changed the score from very walkable (needing a car for a few errands), vs. walker's paradise (not needing a car for everyday errands), which doesn't seem entirely logical. The line has to be drawn somewhere though, I guess?
