The only US city we enjoy for walking is San Antonio’s canal system. Venice Italy is a walkable canal city.
Another reason people would go to these cities is one of a kind arts. Paris has the Louvre, D’Orsay and Versailles. Not to mention restaurants and cafe’s. These amenities go hand in hand with walking.
How Pittsburg would pull this off remains to be seen, but I would advise them to build canals. It would take guts for the planners, but they have to think big and bold.
Morning cicero2k!
Ever been to Pittsburgh? They don’t need canals; They got RIVERS! Three of them, to be exact! BIG ones! :-)
