"I grew up in Illinois, just a few hours outside Chicago, and it will always be one of my favorite cities in the world. Part of why I love it so much is that it's so walkable. The city's flat layout, efficient public transit, and miles of lakeside paths make it easy to explore without a car. I love wandering around Millennium Park, pausing for coffee or to admire the architecture."
"One of my favorite spots on the California coast is also one of the most walkable - Carmel-by-the-Sea. The city feels like a fairytale come to life, with a village-style layout that has no street addresses, just storybook cottages and the ocean breeze. It's one of the most peaceful, pedestrian-friendly towns I've ever visited, filled with quiet courtyards, flower-covered walls, and winding paths that lead to the sea."
