Beyond Greenways: Grand Loops and Walking Routes

Booked on Planning

In this episode with author Robert Searns of Beyond Greenways: the next step for city trails and walking routes, we discuss the potential of destination walks like Tucson's turquoise trail and Denver's 5280 Trail, to do more than connect points A to B. As we meander through this conversation, we uncover the profound impact of physical wayfinding on our daily urban adventures. It's not just about getting from place to place but also about the cultural landmarks, tree-lined medians, and rest areas that turn a simple stroll into a vibrant communal experience. By listening to our chat, you'll step closer to envisioning a future where every step through our cities fosters a more connected, healthy, and vibrant community.
