An interview with Mike McGinn, Executive Director of America Walks and former Seattle Mayor
“It's really about building, as I said, these inclusive, accessible, equitable places. That draws people from different places to it, right? People might come in from a public health perspective, people might come in from a climate perspective, people might come in from a land use and economic vitality perspective, an affordable housing perspective. So we have a little bit more of a challenge, trying to figure out how to really support everybody and knit together a movement.”
