San Francisco’s city government devotes 12 agencies to walking issues. Boston’s patterned intersections encourage more people to walk. New York residents log the fewest vehicle miles, and Washington, D.C.’s extensive public transport system makes exploring on foot a breeze. These are among the Top 25 Walking Cities in America, according to Prevention’s annual survey with the American Podiatric Medical Association and Sperling’s Best Places. The complete findings are available at www.prevention.com/cities.

Just out of curiosity, do vehicle miles include the subway?
Hey, welcome back! I was wondering who had kidnapped you...now I see it was your wonderful family!
I love walking in Chicago. It's truly a beautiful city!
Loved walking along Lake Shore Drive with Bob when we were students at Moody.
When I lived in Manhattan, N. Y. and worked in NJ I had to do alot of walking to get to the subway. Except for a drunk trying to grap my arm one time, it was fun walking. (I was only 19, so I was a little scared but just kept walking.)
It is something I need to do a lot more of.
