Walkable London
Mar 25, 2019 Latest News
What can data tell about the effects of pedestrianization: fueling centralities and local economy or, otherwise, leading to inner periphery emergence and real estate degradation?
The presented analysis is the data-driven argument for the walkability increase in several areas in central London presented by Zaha Hadid Architects in collaboration with Habidatum. We compiled and processed urban data to study the interconnections of pedestrianization and socio-economic trends.
Fig. 1. Zones and avenues proposed to be pedestrianized.
Open data for human mobility (social media data) and business operations is used in order to compare happiness and activity, commercial density and diversity, and the length of pedestrian streets across London.
As a result, we found areas with high social and commercial activity but not many pedestrian streets. These places are supposed to have a strong basis for walkability as it is expected to increase people’s activity and support commercial development there. The performed data analysis helps assess the existing conditions of such locations and select the appropriate scope of pedestrianization to manage its future effects to enhance the growth of local centres.
Full analysis here.

This analysis is part of a series of publications resulting from FIABCI's partnership with Habidatum.
