It’s not just Tampa. Everyone is waking up to how deep the demand for walkability is. 92% of Gen Z would pay more to live in a walkable neighborhood. Every city is in a dogfight to become more walkable before the others do. Even if they don’t know it yet.

A tale of two cities: Sydney has developed its suburban density around rail stations. Melbourne has not. But both will need to improve to compete as global cities, new @KPMG analysis by @TRaw_AUS shows. https://t.co/kbh85uLKK8
