Is that amount of time common to walk in places in the world where cars don’t dictate the layout of the community?

Im going to be making this walk tomorrow, no worries, I’m just curious if its normal in other places. Maps says its 1hour15minues for 2.3miles or 3.7Km.

    That’s weird reasoning. Why would walkable mean there’s busses?

      For me walkable means that you don’t need to own a vehicle from going from point A to B and pedestrians are not an afterthought.

      For my daily commute or to meet my friends it’s faster/comfortable to walk to the metro station or bus stop than picking the car.

        “Walkable” is a very bad description of your vision in that case. :) Anti-car would be more correct, no?

        I know a lot of ways to shape an environment so that you do not need a vehicle, yet it’s not walkable neither.
