Die fußgängerfreundlichsten Städte der Welt

Walkable cities doesnt mean cities that are nice to walk in with these parameters.

I’m really surprised Amsterdam is not on the list. I question your methodology.

No Budapest?

Venice…? You literally must walk.

That’s so wrong.

Copenhagen can have walking paths, but it’s very widespread, too much of the area is not really approachable by foot.

Dublin tight downtown is walkable, the rest is car heaven.

Having walk paths from nowhere to nowhere doesn’t make city walkable, but urban planning that allows meaningfull walk agendas.

How is St. Petersburg more walkable than Rome, Amsterdam, or Lisbon?

Oh I see their methodology. It’s more about cities with well distributed services like schools and hospitals

Now I want one ranking best public transportation.

Wait, the netherlanda is not in here? I walk pass 30 schools, 3 hospitals, 100 shops, 2 mayor public transport hubs and thru the whole city of the hague in under an hour. I have walked a lot of the cities and the heague and amterdam, utrecht and the hague are way better cities to walk then berlin etc

Minsk is better than London

Yeah… I guess I played too much Medieval 2 Total War back in the day, because I don’t trust Milan for a second lol

Uhm, i m an graduate in urban development. Where the hell are all the big cities of the Netherlands? Arent they key examples in how to make car free ish cites and instead focus on public transport and the bike??

13 minutes to walk to key amenities in St Petersburg? If you visit only every 15th one maybe.

This is a map of randomly chosen cities with randomly chosen numbers to collect internet points.

A reminder to anyone, this is not a map about being able to walk the city from one side to the other

This is a map about being able to find services and amenities in a 15 minutes radius by foot or by bike

Sources of bias from the data (from the original source)

* The first critical point is related to the use of OpenStreetMap data. OSM data might not be complete for some cities, and their level of completeness is city-dependent
* The walking infrastructure present in OSM can also lead to biases in times of accessibility to services. Cities might be walkable in principle but less in reality: some areas might be dangerous because of traffic or lack of safety, or the street could be damaged or uphill, therefore not encouraging walkability
* Another possible source of bias is the definition of urban areas. Here, we considered OECD-defined core urban areas, which rely also on the municipalities’ borders. When cities are not in the OECD data set, we use borders of core urban areas from GHS instead, but there might be similar biases
* Thepopulation data is taken from WorldPop and is crucial for this work. However, it is often considered reliable, and we used data adjusted to match UN population estimates.
* The last two points are due to our analysis and can be refined, although it is not trivial to find an unbiased procedure

here’s the actual website where you can visualize the data [15min-City](https://whatif.sonycsl.it/15mincity/index.php)

(Zurich is number 1 in the actual report, never trust Visual Capitalist)

It would be good to see the full list.

I can only assume they didn’t visit the Netherlands. I’ve been to most of these cities and they would lose to the average dutch suburb.
