WALKABILITY:DEFINITION:Walkability is a measure of how friendly an area is to walking. Walkability has many health, environmental, and economic benefits. Factors influencing walkability include the presence or absence and quality of footpaths, sidewalks or other pedestrian rights-of-way, traffic and road conditions, land use patterns, building accessibility, and safety, among others. Walkability is an important concept in sustainable urban design.

The site that we’ve chosen has a friendly walkability to the surrounding area nearby.

What makes a site a walkability friendly site ? Streets designed for bicyclists, pedestrians and transit. Buildings are closed to the street and parking lots are relegated to

the back Plenty of public places to gather and play. Enough people for businesses to flourish and for public transit to
