Lately, I've read a lot of articles citing the rise in importance of people-friendly, walkable (sub)urban master plans. In all the articles, walkability was referenced as a theory or a practice that needs to be applied for our health and happiness. I just uncovered this great article from a year ago that references a website that can calculate how walkable your house (or potential new house) is to amenities. Quantify your house's walkability by checking out the Wall Street Journal article and the Walk Score website.
