A recent study analyzed commuter patterns by car, bike and foot.
Plenty of travelers, whether visiting a new city or returning somewhere familiar, can relate to the surprise and delight of seeing your step count after a day of strolling the sights. And beyond theNow, new analysis has revealed which cities across the globe will help you reach your step-count goals -- and in which you might fall short.
The 100 least active walkable cities were all found in North America, which as The Economist noted may be the result of pro-car policies and government subsidies over decades.Cities in the U.S. including New York, Boston and Houston were all clustered in the bottom left quadrant of The Economist's plot chart depicting populations that mostly took journeys by car instead of active mobility, like walking or biking.
Unsurprisingly, larger, sprawled out cities tend to be less active than their smaller, densely populated counterparts, where people more frequently journey places by foot or on a bike.There was not a single U.S. city in the top 10 list of most active walkable cities, and many showed up far down The Economist's list: Corvallis, Oregon, for example, ranked 415. Flagstaff, Arizona, came in at 427, Boulder, Colorado, came in at 429 and Manhattan, New York, was ranked 434.
The Spanish port city Bilbao, which is known for the Frank Gehry-designed Guggenheim Museum, landed at No. 8 on the list, and León in northwest Spain, full of Roman ruins and Gothic cathedrals, was situated at No. 9.
