Wonderwhy has been documenting micro-cultures digitally for over three years. We’ve asked and answered questions that are very close to home for our readers, like why some people need rice in all of their meals or how parents show love through a bowl of cut fruits. As time goes by, we wonder how our team could bring a greater impact to the community. A long contemplation leads to the conclusion that we should keep sharing culturally relevant stories, this time around Southeast Asia, as it has flourished and become highlighted on the global stage. Our book represents Southeast Asia and its people—a curated story from the perspective of the locals.

Still holding closely our essence of discussing everyday occurrences, we lift the spirit of city walkers. Southeast Asia might not have the most walkable districts, but the lively pedestrian scene comes with an irresistible charm one wouldn’t want to miss out. An increasing interest in creating pedestrian-friendly streets has also been a notable priority for the community as well as decision-makers. While reading this book, you can wonder why people live the lifestyle they’re choosing, what precisely contributes to making a walkable city, as well as the opportunities that come from these stories. 

Collaborating with local contributors from all over Southeast Asia, we bring you diverse stories from individuals who navigate life on foot for various reasons. From corporate professionals who walk to work, skateboard enthusiasts, Singapore presidential candidates on a campaign trail, and even the barefoot Baduy tribe, all call these vibrant streets their own. Southeast Asia might not have the most walkable districts, but the lively pedestrian scene comes with an irresistible charm one wouldn’t want to miss out. 

Explore the intricacies of daily life in Southeast Asia and get inspired by micro-cultures that will spark ideas and open doors for those seeking a deeper understanding of this thriving market. Whether you're a business owner, marketer, or someone curious about life in different locales, City Walker is your gateway.
