It is not just about convenience.
Walkability shapes how we connect with our neighborhoods and the
world around us. It fosters healthier lifestyles, reduces our
environmental impact, and brings the essentials of daily life
closer to home. When cities prioritize people over cars, streets
become places for connection, local businesses thrive, and green
spaces flourish.
The Walkability Score Calculator evaluates how
pedestrian-friendly an area is by analyzing selected features
within a 1,200-meter radius, the distance an average person
walks in 15 minutes. After entering an address, the calculator
identifies nearby amenities such as schools, shops, offices and
healthcare services, calculates the percentage of streets
reserved for pedestrians, measures the area of parks and green
spaces, and counts the public transport stops.
These factors are combined into a total score, with proximity to
amenities weighted at 40%, walkable streets at 30%, and green
spaces and public transport each at 15%, providing an indication
of the area’s walkability.
