Americans LOVE #walkable cities, look at any theme park, lifestyle center, or outdoor mall!

But we won't build that way where we live. Our politicians feed us car culture and we lap it up like fools.

ich sehe Handlungsbedarf in Bekämpfen von #Armut,Verbesserung der #Mobilität und #Infrastruktur. @SheDrivesMobility
Es ist nicht gut systematische Probleme auf Einzelne zu verlagern.
Auch wissenschaftlich nachgewiesen,dass Gebiete mit weniger #Walkability mit mehr non-commutable diseases verbunden sind.
Und dass #Armut Lebenserwartung und gesunde Jahre verkürzt.

Results of a recent lighting survey in Rome showed that "walking comfort was affected by mean luminance of whole scene, of sidewalk, of lateral wall and of human body; luminance also influenced the perception of street lighting intensity and uniformity and, to a lesser extent, the visibility of other people and of background."
