2025 Walkable Cities: European Cities Shine, Mumbai Struggles
A new study looked at how easy it is to walk around different cities in 2025.
They found that European cities are the best for walking, with Munich, Germany, being the top city.
Many cities in Europe have car-free zones, bike paths, and good pedestrian safety.
On the other hand, cities like Johannesburg, South Africa, and Mumbai, India, are among the worst for walkers.
Mumbai is ranked poorly due to safety concerns and monsoons.
While walking might be tough, Mumbai's public transport is very affordable.
The study shows that cities designed for people who walk are often better places to live.
