Topic: Are walkable neighborhoods richer in social capital?
What we'll discuss on the show:

- What is social capital?
- Are people in walkable neighborhoods actually happier people?
- Which neighborhoods were studied?
- How can citizens create happier, healthier towns and cities?
- Does this research relate to bikeable and the movement for installing bikeways?
- What should someone do if they live someplace that is not so walkable? Walk anyway?
- Are walkable neighborhoods the vision for a greener future?
Join the conversation online! Do you or someone you know live in a walkable community? What's it like? Are you happy? Do you drive less? Tell us your story.
