If walking is the bulk of your exercise.
How much should you be walking?

Not trying to be a jerk but....
Unless you have a physical ailment, why not just get on a elliptical and double your walking speed? Walking alone may not do much for you unless your diet is under control.
There's ppl in places like NYC & other places who walk everywhere/everyday and are still overweight.

Depends on the goal. If the goal is to be active I would think it's what you can handle.
If you have a cardiovascular, weight loss or body composition goal keep in mind your body eventually adapts to levels so to @jadillac point you get use to it and it has less impact.

When I had a gym membership I did do the elliptical.
It's all dependent on what you have to lose. The more you have to lose it doesn't take much with a generally good diet. As you get leaner the methods have to be more advanced.
It really all depends on how far you want to take it.

incline at 15 walking >>>
~650 calories in 1 hour at 3 speed... 800+ at 3.5 or 4 speed..
outside of spin classes its one of the best ways to actually shred you, if you got the patience to walk a fukkin hour on a tread mill though (thats the hardest part honestly, the boredom)
I walk about 8 miles a week. Walk a few times during the week 2-3 miles. Usually after lifting or sometime just walk. That's not including the walking I do at work. I use the mapmyfitness app and it tracks everything on there.
