"Walking is convenient, it needs no special equipment, is self-regulating and inherently safe. Walking is as natural as breathing."
John Butcher, Founder of 'Walk21', 1999
"Few arguments can be put forward against inviting people to walk as much as possible in their cities. It's good for the cities, the air, the resources and the people."
Jan Gehl, participant at the London Conference, 2000
"Cities cannot give in to the endless demands of vehicles. We must recover the environment, adopt initiatives to discourage and reduce the abusive use of the car and promote walking, cycling and public transport."
