Achieving Walkable Cities

City have many citizens with many different characters. To make the cities green, have clean air should be designed or redesigned to meet one aspect that will make them greener : Walkability.

Increasing the number of clean and safe parks, sustainable public transport, recreational facilities, shops and services has increased daily walking and consequently delivered healthier lifestyles. And walkable cities benefit businesses too.

So companies can take advantage of the increasing pedestrian traffic. Providing clean, safe sidewalks increases the number of pedestrians in a business district, encourages leisurely browsing and leads to unplanned purchases, which are good for local merchants.

Unfortunately, in some places lack of walkability almost make them  inclusive, green , livable or sustainable.

Many pedestrians go on foot and run without caring environment when some of them walk on the grass. And often pedestrians also cover the beauty of the city when they go to the crowding.

In my opinion, the citizens should keep the city clean and prevent them from air pollution. It is better for the citizens to go some where near their house on foot or by bicycle. Unless the distance is really far.
