"The APMA surveyed the most populated cities and then examined them for walker friendly characteristics, such as how many people walk to work each day, safe air quality, number of parks, how many podiatrists are available to keep your feet healthy and happy and how many health clubs and sports stores there are to serve walkers. One interesting finding is that each of the cities on the top-ten list has at least one government-appointed walking coordinator to develop special walking programs and encourage more walking within the city."
