The Pace of Life in 31 Countries

Levine, in his article, compared the pace of life in large cities from 31 countries around the world. Three indicators of pace of life were observed: average walking speed in downtown locations, the speed with which postal clerks completed a simple request (work speed), and the accuracy of public clocks. The pace was significantly faster in colder climates, economically productive countries, and in individualistic cultures. Our research question builds further on this study and examines whether walking pace is defined by the personality of a place and does it diff between unique districts of a city?

Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
