You may not have noticed, but people are walking faster than they used to. According to recent research by British psychologist Richard Wiseman, global urban walking speed has increased by about 10% since a similar survey was conducted in the '90s.

According to the new survey, which charted walking speed in 32 cities worldwide, people in Singapore move the fastest.

You can see the full city list in this ITN article.
