  • People to Walk More
    MORE PEOPLE TO WALK MORE The Pedestrian strategy of Copenhagen 2 More People to Walk More... ... it’s healthy ... you protect the environment ... you contribute to a living city ... you get new ideas ... you discover more ... you meet other people ... it’s free 3 PREFACE We are all pedestrians – every day. Sometimes we’re just out for a walk, other times we have a specific goal in mind. Even when we take our bike or car, go by bus, train or metro the trip usually starts and ends on foot. Most of us can walk in the city with no problems, whereas some of us need a bit of help on our walk. If you use a walking stick, a walker, a wheelchair or something similar, then you’re particularly dependent on the pavements, roads and so on being easy to access. This, however, does not change the fact that we are all pedestrians. In Copenhagen, we are very keen to focus on pedestrians so we can achieve an even better city life for everybody even more healthy citizens and a better environment. It is essential for us to create an even more interesting, exciting and safe city. For this reason, I would like to introduce here one of the goals in the City of Copenha- gen’s proposal for city life entitled “Metropolis for People”: ”More People to Walk More”. The pedestrian strategy “ More People to Walk More” contains a number of proposals as to how Copenhagen can become an even better city for pedestrians, showing how to achieve the goal of 20 % more pedestrians by 2015.

  • Issue at 40 Pages Is Now Double the Size It Was This Time Last Year
    FRONT COVER: The start of the London Open Walks 2010 on January 31st. PHOTO: by Mark Easton Editorial It looks like 2010 is going to be a renaissance year for race walking. Athletes have shown that they have been training hard over the winter, and many people have set themselves targets for the coming year, whether they be to do well in certain races, achieve selection, improve PB’s, or just to finally beat a close rival. The public interest in race walking is also increasing, and people’s general perception of the event is now more serious and less mocking. The number of people entering some races is increasing. Old faces are re-appearing, and new faces are showing signs of rapid improvement. Who knows, perhaps more walkers not seen for a few years will be tempted to come back and have a go… There are more events to choose from this year, and some events are being tweaked to make them more appealing. Also, huge city walks look set to return, as more people try to get active, without wishing to become runners. Records will fall this year, and the British team are likely to do better than they have for many years. Things are definitely looking up! P.S. Although RWR is being published every month, the calendar month on the cover does not currently match when the magazine actually comes out - thank you to everyone who has repeatedly pointed this out to me! There is a seven week gap that has built up between ‘when it should’ and ‘when it does’ and this will now be reducing.
