🚶Walkability Score

Urban pedestrian quality score 0–100, adapted from Walk Score methodology — measuring street connectivity, destination density, block size, pavement quality, shade, and safety for pedestrians (Walk Score data, HCPNow pedestrian index, ITF Pedestrian Safety data, Mercer Quality of Living). Singapore leads globally with exceptional pavement quality, ubiquitous shade architecture, seamless transit-walking integration, and near-zero pedestrian fatality risk. Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto) combines ultra-dense urban fabric with safe pedestrian infrastructure. European cities excel through historic centres built before motorisation — narrow streets, small blocks, ground-floor active uses. Car-centric North American suburbia scores poorly despite infrastructure investment. Gulf cities like Dubai have high infrastructure quality but hostile pedestrian environments outside designated zones. Walking is the last mile of all transit journeys — high walkability multiplies the value of every other transport mode.
