When Georgia Tech improved its pedestrian traffic between Tech Tower and Harrison Square last year, it joined other universities working to improve its campus walkability.
One campaign gaining large-scale traction in cities and on campuses publicly spotlights the time in minutes to points of interest. Walk [Your City], established at NSCU by Matt Tomasulo, has begun appearing on campuses nationwide, featuring signs such as “it’s a 4 minute walk to a grocery store.”
Tomasulo aptly said, “University campuses are really like small cities.” If we’re working to improve our cities walkability, we should do the same for our colleges.
