30 Ideas in 30 Days: #12 Walk [Your City]

30 Ideas in 30 Days

Continuing in our theme of giving people things to do, we return to walking and a clever introduction that encourages it to occur.

Idea #12: Walk [Your City]

A temporary strategy for encouraging walking has come out of Walk [Your City] based in Raleigh, North Carolina. The temporary to semi-permanent signs they fabricate give an approximate time to get to different attractions. A QR code on the sign gives people with smart phones who scan it step-by-step directions. The mission of Walk [Your City] is "Getting More Feet on the Street™!" Potentially a limitless number of signs like this can be created.
