Fewer and Fewer people walk on a daily basis.
What are the reasons and how to encourage them to spend their time walking?

In modern life, an increasing number of people have lost their walking habit. There are several reasons for this trend and some measures to encourage people to make their walking routines should be implemented.
From my perspective, there are two main explanations to why fewer people walk on their daily basis. Firstly, technology development partially has restricted people to spend time walking. Lifts and escalators has appeared left right and center especially in high-rise buildings and shopping malls, which is an strong evidence this reason. It is inevitable that these types of transportation are extremely convenient and helps people save a lot of time but they facilitate the sedentary lifestyle. Secondly, car usage which is indispensable part in modern life also contributes to this problem. For example, parents take children to school by cars even the school is not too far away from their house. It can be understandable as they always worry about the safety of their lovely kids, especially the road to school go through many crowded places.
There are a number of actions which can be taken to boost walking habit in people’s everyday life. In high-rise buildings, usage of the stairs should be mandatory to the low floors. In order to restrict the unnecessary car usage, some non-parking zones might be placed around the school, which in some ways leads to a result that the children would be accompanied by their parents walking to school. In other words, the walking routine could be reinforced in each family. Another measure is that pavements should be upgraded and expanded and many pedestrian zones should be established everywhere. Those areas with a vast number of trees on two sides definitely attract more people get there.
In conclusion, some reasons for the decrease in walking routine could be uncovered and several effective solutions should be applied to tackle this issue.
