We assume that the density threshold for walkability is 3,000–4,000 people per square kilometer (7.8–10.4 thousand per square mile), and that high-density cities could lead to residents walking for 6.5–7 percent of urban trips. ![]() Higher population density, if assumed correlated to density of points of interest (residences, workplaces, shopping, leisure, etc.), can lead to increased walking as destinations become easier for residents to get to on foot. Sources used to project growth of the market from 2014 to 2050 include the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP), and the University of California–Davis (UCD). The total addressable market for the Walkable Cities solution is defined as total urban mobility, expressed in passenger-kilometers. Health, prosperity, and sustainability go hand in hand. That is because walkable cities are easier and more attractive to live in, making for happier, healthier citizens. Today, too many urban spaces remain no- or low-walking ones, and demand for walkable places far outstrips supply.
