#KualaLumpur is a frustratingly annoying city from a #transit and #walkability perspective.

Perfectly nice, clean, on-schedule trains, lovely stations, surrounded by horrible connectivity and terrible pedestrian access. It's a system designed to fail, and there's no reason it should be this bad.

@ncoca Welcome to the pavements/sidewalks of Malaysia! Malaysia's development overly focuses on roads, to the extent that they forget pedestrians have legs and lives too, and need to walk. Maybe the politicians are enjoying their wealthy life in moneyland while we are all in poverty, and we are blamed for our poverty.

Walking can be good for your health, but how much you do of it isn't necessarily down to motivation. A new study of more than 5,400 people demonstrated that the design of the place you live affects the number of steps you take. Those who live in walkable places take on average 1,100 steps a day more than people in locations that are designed for getting around by car. Dr. Laura Rosella, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Toronto, told @cbc@flipboard.com that several high-quality studies point to decreased risk of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and pre-diabetes as well as mental health benefits from more walkable cities.
