Phoenix is one of the least-walkable cities in America — no real surprise there.
But researchers from the George Washington University School of Business have found that the potential for Phoenix to become more walkable is actually moderately high.
First, the researchers defined what they call “WalkUPs” in every city, which are “regionally significant, walkable urban places.”
Phoenix has four such areas, whereas one of the most-walkable cities, San Francisco, has 57.
