2017 National Walking Summit Call for Proposals

Share On Social!

Latinos and Latino communities could benefit from the co-benefits walking and walkability can provide to an individual and community.

Walking and walkability are cornerstones of vital and vibrant communities, communities which make safety a priority, provide access to basic needs and services, value health equity and historical places, cultivate sustainable economic growth, and promote civic engagement.

The 2017 National Walking Summit will define, describe, and illustrate the influence and power of walkability in creating vital and vibrant places in order to bridge community divides and overcome existing disparities.

Every neighborhood can be vital and vibrant.

There is an important distinction between physical activity for health, like walking or swimming, and exercise for performance, like Cross Fit or marathons. Everyone deserves safe places to walk and be healthy.
