Walking in Vancouver

Vancouver the best walking city in Canada

Factors contributing to Vancouver's ranking include natural beauty, extensive parks, and the city's transportation plan which makes walking one of the top transportation priorities. The city invests in transportation options such as widening sidewalks, neighbourhood traffic calming, and increasing greenways. In addition, land-use planning has resulted in higher densities and a very walkable downtown core. Vancouver was also recognized for the number of kilometres of trails in the city, ideal year-round temperatures, good air quality and many points of interest.
