I just don't get the obsession of some people with "walkable cities". What is reasonable walking time at -20 during snowstorm or at +30 at blazing sun? Multiply

I just don't get the obsession of some people with "walkable cities". What is reasonable walking time at -20 during snowstorm or at +30 at blazing sun? Multiply that with reasonable pedestrian speed and get outer diameter of the mystic "walkable city". The way I would define reasonable values that would be roughly 2-3km. That's a village, not even a town.
- Fricken 8y agoWithin a 3 km radius you can access 28 square kilometres. Central Paris, a classic walkable city, has a density of 6,500 residents/square kilometre. That's more like a medium sized city you can have access to within 3km if you build for people instead of cars.
