Founder Walk21 Foundation

Jim Walker founded Walk21 in the year 2000 and has, for more than 20 years, championed a global network to grow sufficient evidence, knowledge and tools so that people can walk in safe, attractive and accessible environments wherever they live. His advice has helped 13 of the top 20 places to be independently accredited as the most liveable places in the world. However, his focus is increasingly on supporting women, children, the elderly, people with disabilities and those with low incomes - especially in low and middle income countries - so that their essential mobility is made visible and given priority.
