"If you’ve ever run a big marathon in your city, you’ll know the feeling can be
electric. Blocked off streets, cars temporarily banished from the road and a
sense of enormous freedom as you run.
For most runners, however, running through cities on an ordinary day is not
always pleasant. Planners often focus on walkability and bicycle-friendly
cities, which is great to promote active transport. But we don’t generally plan
cities to be good for runners.
Yet, millions of us are runners; it’s one of the world’s most practiced sports
and more of us are joining run clubs.
Making our cities “runnable” could inspire even more people to take up running.
So, what makes a city runnable?"
