“Walk Up Wake Up Call” Presentation Makes the Case for “Walkable Urbanism” on LI

The case for creating more walkable urban communities on Long Island is made in the attached Walk Up Wake Up Call presentation. The economic performance of walkable urban models in downtown suburban areas far exceeds the drivable suburban model upon which most of Long Island was developed. Data supplied by the Center for Real Estate and Urban Analysis of The George Washington University shows there is significant demand for walkable communities with easy access to shopping, transportation, cultural amenities and recreational areas. The data also shows that by comparison, there is greater overall economic activity and higher real estate asset value, making the case for both the public and private sector to encourage expansion of this model here on Long Island.
