Summer is upon us, which means it’s time to get outside and go for a walk. One of the best places to take a stroll is on a street without cars, a rarity in the United States. But many cities are following the lead of New York City’s recent pedestrianization of a number of its streets and considering the same action in their downtowns; pictured above is Norweigan architects Snøhetta’s vision for Times Square, to be realized in the near future.
Walking is some of the best exercise possible, and summer is the ideal time to stretch one’s legs, especially on these five Character Approved “streets for people.”
