The Walkability Roadshow Case Studies

Walkability Roadshow Case Studies

The Walkability Roadshow, spearheaded by Green Communities Canada and Walk21, was intended to extend the Walk21 Toronto 2007 conference beyond three days in just one place and to demonstrate how walkability can be achieved in suburban and rural communities, as well as urban centres. The Roadshow provided a framework for the participating communities to create locally endorsed pedestrian strategies and realistic action plans. The participating communities are listed below and a Case Study for each is available here. We have also provided a brief update from each community on progress since the Roadshow (last updated October 2008):
