The challenge cities face:
Limited road space and municipal budgets make it impractical to fix footpaths on every street. As a result, footpath development often happens in small, disconnected stretches, offering minimal benefit to pedestrians.
Changing the status quo requires prioritising our efforts and resources and leveraging citizens as end users to achieve the most speedy and effective outcomes
