Never thought of it buts it's funny in away that the cities with the shittiest winters are the best walkable cities.

Really so cal, texas, South east, and west should be walkable but their car centric nightmares filled with traffic

The key to being a walkable city is to developed as a city BEFORE cars. Then they had dense grids because most people walked or took wagons at best.

Cities didn’t develop in southern hot climates until really the advent of air conditioning, which aligns roughly with the rise of cars.
