Amsterdam is an iconic example of a walkable city, where urban design puts people at the centre. Streets designed for walking rather than cars not only improve air quality, but also promote a healthy and dynamic lifestyle. By transforming cities into spaces where walking is more accessible and attractive, carbon emissions are reduced, active transport is promoted and the well-being of citizens is improved. Walkable cities foster social connection, reduce congestion, and increase the efficiency of public transport. With adequate infrastructure, such as cycle lanes, spacious and accessible pedestrian areas, and pedestrian-friendly urban planning, Amsterdam demonstrates that it is possible to create sustainable, healthy, and dynamic urban environments.
