Walkable cities with data
Our #mapofthemonth video gives an impression of the value of the tool and how it works. Indicators like block size, obstacles and car domination show the walkability score of a neighborhood. Building up the score with indicators has the advantage that it is immediately clear to a designer or policymaker what already works well for pedestrians and what needs improvement. For example, the tool can indicate that a neighborhood has too few crossing places, or that the environment offers too few incentives for people to leave the car and walk.
