The economics of walkability

Check out this article published in the Hamilton Spectator today by Christopher Leinberger - he discusses walkable neighbourhoods as being more economcally viable than suburban neighbourhoods.

"While cities are thriving and growing, suburbs have grown more congested, less green, even more car-centric and been pushed further out into the hinterland ... What is in trouble is the entry level, low-end fringe development. Those are the next slums.”

-Christopher Leinberger
