The Most Walkable Cities in America

Redfin has released Walk Score’s 10 Most Walkable Cities of America and New York City is on top once again. Katrina + Kristen are pleased to see their respective cities at the top, though some ranks have shifted this year… Do the top 10 cities surprise you? Does your own neighborhood’s score seem higher or lower than it should? Join us as we virtually “walk” through these cities for ourselves and what it means to be walkable. 

Thank you to everyone for signing up for The Women Led Cities Initiative teased last week! Don’t forget to send us your #urbanistwomenatwork submissions either anonymously or otherwise to talk about your experience as a woman working in urbanism. Email us at thirdwaveurbanism [at] gmail.com or send us a message on your social media platform of choice. 

As always, you can keep up with our thoughts and send us your comments on Twitter or Instagram: 

Katrina can be found at @think_katrina

Kristen can be found at @blackurbanist

And if you like these conversations and advocating for human-scale cities, you can donate to our unsponsored efforts on our Patreon page at www.patreon.com/thirdwaveurbanism. Thank you to our supporters, and thank you all for listening, sharing, and doing what you do!
