What\u2019s an 8-80 City?
\nStep 1. Think of a Child
\nStep 2. Think of an Older Adult
\nStep 3. Ask yourself, would you send a child to bike to the store? Would you have her grandmother cross that intersection? What if, everything we did in our cities was great for the 8 year olds and 80 year olds? We\u2019d end up with cities that are good for all \u2014 8-80 Cities. <\/p>\n
