Quantified the economic importance of sustainable urban development.

Professor and developer Christopher Leinberger has long touted the economic importance of walkable neighborhoods. His groundbreaking research revealed price premiums in the walkable suburbs of cities like Boston and New York.

According to Leinberger’s most recent research, walkable neighborhoods are attracting the majority of new real estate development in the U.S., with properties in those areas commanding rents 74% higher than those in drivable suburban locations.
