The resilience and perspective of the citizens in Dakar is admirable.
Dakar is described as dirty, crowded, and dysfunctional.
Residents in developed countries may have material advantages, but may lack the deeper fulfillment found in other places with strong community and culture.
Walkability in a city is about the ability for a random citizen to live happily without a car or reliance on private transport services.
Factors like density, localized distribution of resources, proper infrastructure, public transportation, connectedness, and climate/play a vital role in determining a city's walkability.
The idea of walkability may differ among individuals, with personal preferences affected by lifestyle, wealth, and cultural norms.
