walk this way – toward sustainability
walkability is key to enhancing the triple bottom line – so now what?

Insights and practical solutions for lenders, developers, investors, local and
regional planning agencies, private foundations and government agencies
funding sustainability practices
walkability = good for sustainability
Walkability is linked to:
Better public health and reduced rates of chronic illness
Social well-being and mental and spiritual health
Decreased driving rates – tied to reduced CO2 emissions & GHGs
and walkability = economic value
Neighborhoods with environmental
features that facilitate walkability
and attract pedestrians have
higher office, residential, and retail
rents, retail revenues, and higher
value residential for-sale properties.
walkable clusters nearby = better
Walkable neighborhood clusters that form walkable districts have higher
rents and home values than stand-alone walkable places.
so, now what - is there a solution?
State of Place is a powerful tool that
diagnoses a neighborhood’s
walkability. It enables you to
customize strategic approaches in
policy, design, development,
investment and planning – that make
cities better.

It reveals a place’s strengths and
weaknesses and lays out a roadmap
to improve walkability – and move
toward sustainability.

No other tool gives you the power to
identify the highest impact leverage
points to improve a place’s triple
bottom line.

Please contact me to discuss how State of Place can be practically applied to
your planning, design, development, or social impact investment projects.

These insights are detailed in a report published by the Metropolitan Policy
Program at the Brookings Institute, May 2012 (with my co-author Chris Leinberger)
