🚶 What makes a city truly walkable?

Safe crossings, connected sidewalks, access to public transport, and destinations within reach all shape how easily people can move through their communities.

ITDP’s Pedestrians First provides tools and indicators to help cities measure walkability and understand where improvements are needed to create safer, more accessible streets for everyone.

A new report from ITDP and UC Davis, supported by the FIA Foundation, shows how smarter urban transport policies can strengthen energy security and reduce vulnerability to oil shocks.

Download "Compact Cities Electrified: Energy Outlook" to learn more at https://itdp.org/publication/compact-cities-electrified-energy-outlook/

By 2050, combining with mode shift could cut urban passenger transport fuel consumption by 70% and liquid fuel demand by 85% across Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and the U.S.

The benefits go beyond energy resilience: lower costs, cleaner air, and safer roads.
