Walkable density done well On 13 March 2025, Committee for Sydney collaborated with WalkSydney to produce a report: Putting our best foot forward: a checklist for walkable density. This is because walkability starts with how we build our precincts - the structure of places influences 54% of all walking. Since we can design our neighbourhoods to make it more likely for people to walk, but often the challenge and complexity can be overwhelming, the checklist reduces a vast body of research into what makes good walkable places into a simple 10 minute question-and-answer form, that includes providing diverse, higher-density housing like apartments and townhouses, along with good access to jobs, childcare and schools, parks, shops and public transport. https://walksydney.org/2025/03/17/walkable-density-done-well/
