On August 27, 2014, NRDC released an evaluation report on the walkability of 35 Chinese cities intended to raise public and government awareness of the need for pedestrian-friendliness for low-carbon urban transportation. We found Hong Kong to be the most walkable, followed by Shenzhen, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Dalian. Beijing fell behind due to its super block street system, high per capita car ownership, and severe air pollution. Our report received extensive coverage by Chinese papers, radio stations, and social media, including a full page discussion on a popular Beijing newspaper. Our full report was published on government's official "China Development" online portal. View some additional main media coverage here and here.
