The term "walkable" has its origins in the late 19th century. It is derived from the concept of "walkability," which refers to the ability of a place to be safely and comfortably navigated on foot. The term was first used in the United States in the 1890s, particularly in urban planning and architecture circles. During this time, there was a growing recognition of the need for cities to revitalize their inner cities and make them more pedestrian-friendly. Architecture critics and urban planners began using the term "walkable" to describe spaces that were designed with pedestrians in mind, featuring features such as wide sidewalks, clean streets, and a mix of residential and commercial uses. Since then, the concept of walkability has continued to evolve, influenced by changes in urban planning and transportation, as well as shifts in societal values towards a more sustainable and healthier lifestyle.
