is it true? it might, for those who reside in neighbourhoods designed more for cars than foot traffic. the research recently conducted suggested that the more walkable a neighbourhood was, the less likely its residents were to become overweight or obese. since newer neighbourhoods offer fewer opportunities for walking such as sidewalks and other characteristics that made them more accessable to pedestrians, it is recommended for the suburbs' constructors to design pedestrian friendly places for people to live, work and play.
