It depends on how challenging walking is for you. If you’re getting back into shape after a long period of low physical activity, walking can improve your cardio fitness. If you’re already in shape, it may simply maintain the existing fitness level.

 

If running is not an option for you, you can make walking more challenging by switching to nordic walking (with sticks).

Well, then run for improving VO2 Max, if that’s important to you, and walk for enjoyment. Not everything you do has to be "efficient".
