8 - 80 Cities is a Canadian based non-profit organization with an international outlook. Our goal is to contribute to the creation of vibrant cities and healthy communities, where residents live happier and enjoy great public places.
We promote walking and bicycling as activities and urban parks, trails and other public spaces as great places for ALL.
These activities and public spaces improve our environment, advance economic development, boost and complement our transportation systems, make better recreation for all, and enhance our personal and public health.

Our new name 8 - 80 Cities, was chosen to better reflect our commitment to contribute to the creation of vibrant cities and healthy communities. The origin of the name stems from our signature line urging leaders to make decisions about our built environment based on what would be good for an 8 year old and an 80 year old which would result in great cities for all.
