Narrow streets are a common feature in walking cities, where space is at a premium.
A walking city or walkable city is a type of city that is created to avoid internal transportation, and therefore be small enough that a person can use walking to navigate the city. It is characterized by narrow, often winding streets.[1] Its transport system is inherently egalitarian, with no one being disadvantaged by a lack of transport, unlike modern automotive cities.[1] Walkability within areas positively impacts equity, sustainability, health, social benefits, less demand on other modes, economic development, and enjoyment.[2]
