How Walkable

Description

From the marketplace listing

How Walkable rates how walkable any address, neighbourhood or city on Earth is, from 0 (car-dependent) to 100 (daily errands need no car). Ask about a place and get its score, what it means, and the nearest groceries, restaurants, shops, cafés, banks, parks, schools, libraries and venues, each with its walking time. Compare places by asking about several at once, which helps when choosing where to live, work or stay. For about 250 large cities, it also gives each city's world and national rank, and it can list the most or least walkable large cities worldwide or in a country. Scores are calculated from open map data (Overture Maps and OpenStreetMap): everyday places within a walk earn points that fall with distance, and sparse street networks lose up to 20%. The full method is at howwalkable.com/methodology. Limitations: scores are estimates from map data, which can be incomplete, so places where shops are poorly mapped score too low. Walking distance is estimated from street density rather than routed, and the score does not consider hills, sidewalks, safety or transit. Mainland China is not covered for city rankings. The app needs no account, and it rates only the place names ChatGPT sends it; it does not use your location.
