Recent Reports

A report released by the Brookings Institution in December 2007 ranks the Washington region first among the country's major metropolitan walkable areas per capita, citing Arlington's pedestrian-friendly urban villages and smart growth as key contributing factors. Seven of the 20 most walkable communities highlighted by the report are Arlington's urban villages. They include: Ballston, Clarendon, Court House, Rosslyn, Crystal City, Pentagon City and Shirlington. The report is titled "Footloose and Fancy Free: A Field Study of Walkable Urban Places in the Top 30 U.S Metropolitan Areas."
