Me too. Do you mean USA cities or worldwide? I'm told that some of the most walkable cities worldwide are: Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Vienna, and Barcelona. Which other ones should be on there and which ones from USA?

- abraxas 1y agoI visited Amsterdam this summer. It's amazing, almost eerie how you get off the train at Cetraal station and you are greeted by a city that is nearly silent. Instead of the usual groan of the combustion engines you just hear the gentle sounds of bicycle chains all around you.

- MITSardine 1y agoThis has been my reaction in Oslo. I saw so few cars I thought they might be banned (but I don't think that's the case). Additionally, a great deal of cars in Norway are electric already. From what I can gather, 95+% (!!) of new cars bought in Norway are electric, and 30+% of cars as a whole. Combine the two and it feels like walking in the middle of a Covid lockdown.
- rafram 1y ago> almost eerie how you get off the train at Cetraal station and you are greeted by a city that is nearly silent This was exactly my experience. Blew my mind. I walked down a street that was being repaved, so there were construction vehicles actively tearing up the road surface, and it was still quieter than an average block on a normal day in New York City. I think the lack of heavy HVAC equipment on every building helps too. Living in a mild climate has a lot of perks.
