RMIT University's city campus is more 'walkable' than Times Square and Niagara Falls, an online firm as has revealed.

American based company Walk Score has named and graded areas in Australia known for friendliness to pedestrians.

Main RMIT campus buildings, located on the corner of Swanston and Latrobe streets, have been given a perfect score of 100.

The area is praised for closeness to entertainment, transport, and public amenities.

Times Square in New York has a walk score of 97.

Greater Melbourne, however, has been rated as only 'somewhat walkable' with a total of 57.  

Walk Score CEO Josh Herst says despite the grade there is room for improvement.
