The premiere episode of City Walk shines a spotlight on the most exotic and exciting walks in America, and travels to cities across the country that are currently transforming themselves into more walkable communities. With stops in Pasadena, Washington D.C., and New York City, the episode offers a personalized look at the changing landscape for pedestrians. We also discover how walking rehabilitation helped teenager Daniela recover from a sudden stroke, and how technology that once promised an easy future may now be harmful to your health. On the lighter side, the episode questions non-walkers on their excuses for sitting around, has fun encouraging people to get up and move with a viral video, and features short vignettes that celebrate the beauty of stepping outside.

Episode 3 of City Walk ventures back in time and across the continent as the walking revolution spreads from New York to Portland to the trails of Orange County. We witness first hand the pedestrian experience over a century ago on the double-wide sidewalks of old New York, then traverse the present day parks of Manhattan including a visit to a vibrant public space where we're surprised to find out that not every park is green. We meet a new breed of therapist who uses walking to heal the mind and later discover that the road to happiness is best traveled on foot. The rugged canyons of Orange County, California are brought closer to home on a spectacular hike that can't be experienced through the windshield of a car. We walk the streets of Portland and peek in on Portlandia, with former Mayor and current television star Sam Adams.
