Many places are trying to make things closer together and easier to get to, to encourage walking over driving, Andrew Selsky mentioned in his article "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota." He also mentioned that "parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks..."
