Singapore - city with the fastest walkers
Forget the Malay Mail Big Walk - our neighbours down south have won the distinction of being the world's fastest walkers.The findings led by Prof Richard Wiseman are significant as "when people move faster they become less likely to help others, and also tend to have higher rates of coronary heart disease."
It's actually a bit of a surprise as I always felt Tokyo and Hong Kong walkers were very much faster than Singaporeans and these two cities do not even appear in the Top 10 list which is as follows:
The 10 fastest city walking times:
1) Singapore (Singapore); 10.55
2) Copenhagen (Denmark); 10.82
3) Madrid (Spain); 10.89
4) Guangzhou (China): 10.94
5) Dublin (Ireland); 11.03
6) Curitiba (Brazil); 11.13
7) Berlin (Germany); 11.16
8) New York (US); 12.00
9) Utrecht (Netherlands); 12.04
10) Vienna (Austria); 12.06
