Policy Briefing 6: Neighbourhood Vitality

Policy Briefing 6: Neighbourhood Vitality PDF (119Kb)

Walking is about much more than getting from A to B. Communities work best when they meet together in public spaces on foot - to talk and play, to stop and shop, to sit and to enjoy being in the company of families, neighbours or even strangers.

We can't encourage walking if we don't provide public places in which it is enjoyable to linger. Only when we treat walking as much more than just a means of transport, will we get streets and spaces that are a pleasure to use.
