Who Has the Fastest Pedestrians?

A study has shown that the world's fastest average pedestrian pace is

ten?



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 (United States of America): 12.00

9) Utrecht (Netherlands): 12.04

10) Vienna (Austria): 12.06





What's more, the average pace has increased by 10% in the past ten
years.  The big surprise is that the pace is faster in Dublin
than in New York.  I suppose New Yorkers are packed so tightly
together that they have to go slower.  



In fact, if you sort by pedestrian speed per unit of population
density, Dublin comes out on top.  



1) Dublin

2) Utrecht

3) Guanzhou

4) Vienna

5) Berlin

6) Curitiba

7) Madrid

8) Copenhagen

9) Singapore

10) New York



So Singaporians are the ones who move the fastest, but the Dubliners
are the best at plowing through crowds.
