Today we talk to Dan Burden, a Blue Zones Fellow and International Walkability expert. Dan has built a career by helping cities reshape downtown districts and neighborhoods to make them more walkable and bikeable. His efforts are more than just a passion for accessible spaces - these changes increase economic vitality. In fact, 79% of those looking to buy a home say they want to buy in a walkable area. However, only a small percentage of cities meet that target.
For many decades, the US has focused on car-centered travel, which has dramatically shaped the way we live. Shifting focus to walkable spaces has been shown to increase the local economy, overall sense of well-being and happiness, and perhaps most notably, the area's safety.
So can Redding become a more walkable city? Dan thinks so and will host a Walking Audit in August to show Redding residents how small changes can make a big impact. If Alaska and Yuma, Arizona can have walkable spaces, Redding can too.
