The Freakonomics blog had a link to WalkScore, a site that evaluates and ranks the "walkability" of various U.S. cities. I noticed that I've personally toured six of the Top 10 by foot over the years, and would agree that each is fairly friendly to the pedestrian.
More interestingly, though, was that I discovered you can type any address in (including several Canadian ones that I tried) and see its walkability score, on a scale of 1 to 100. Not too surprisingly, Tammy's area in Toronto is considered a "walker's paradise" (which assessment I'd agree with, having strolled around there a few times) as was my former workplace.
