人们走路多还是少，取决于居住区的自然特征，而不仅仅是个人特征？本文报告了明尼苏达州双城的调查结果，涉及街道格局、“以行人为导向”的基础设施和便利设施以及混合用途或目的地（以速记、设计和目的地的形式）如何影响步行和总体身体活动。密度的影响讨论得比较浅。与早期的研究一样，它发现出于特定目的（即旅行或休闲）的步行因地点的物理特征而异。然而，这项研究使用了总体步行和身体活动的多种衡量标准，表明社会相似的人在不同类型的地方进行的身体活动总量相同，而且平均活动水平较低。
Do people walk more, or less, depending on the physical character of their residential areas rather than merely their individual characteristics? This paper reports findings for the Twin Cities, Minnesota, about how walking and total physical activity are affected by street pattern, 'pedestrian-oriented' infrastructure and amenities, and mixed use or destinations-in shorthand, design and destinations. The effects of density are dealt with in less depth. Like earlier studies, it finds that walking for specific purposes (i.e. travel or leisure) varies in relation to the physical characteristics of places. However, this study using multiple measures of overall walking and physical activity suggests that socially similar people do the same total amount of physical activity in different kinds of places and that level of activity is, on average, low.
