Why are we talking instead of just walking ?• Today we walk out of choice, not out of

necessity

• Mobility for all means mobility for none

• Targeted promotion policies can only work if walking is made to fit in multipurpose daily agendas

• How do we know it’s working ? People actually walk there !
