Demo of QGIS plugin to calculate Walk Potential
Demo of QGIS plugin under development that will calculate Walk Potential, a metric for pedestrian demand useful for urban planning.
More about this metric is here:

The QGIS plugin will be published as free and open source after some more clean-up and refinement.
Software to Calculate Walk Potential for Cities
I have open-sourced code to calculate walk potential for cities. Some assembly required. Walk Potential Calculator This code is used to calculate "walk potential" across a city.Mark Stosberg
To prioritize sidewalk funding, it's useful to know where there's pedestrian demand. Walk Potential calculates this by analyzing how many of 20 different categories of amenities are within a 10-minute walk.
I'm in the process of releasing Walk Potential as a plugin for the QGIS, a free desktop QGIS app. This will make it easier for people to try it out and use.

Writing #solarpunk #speculativefiction #climatefiction doesn't necessarily mean that the authors are responsible for imagining the whole thing. Sometimes reality - see #Switzerland #transportation - has already done the heavy-lifting. The #urbanplanning and #transit in "A New Faith" draws on European and Asian systems a lot.

Back in Bradford for a site visit after a day fiddling with wires at the National Railway Museum.
Having been involved in the last big shake up of Bradford City Centre to create City Park in 2010/2011, it's brilliant to see even fewer cars and even more planting.
The curse of creeping deterioration.
Imagine if your candidate for mayor came up with the plan of turning a green, cool, climate-resilient city centre with good air quality into a gigantic, hot, stinking car park within a very short space of time. Promising to significantly raise the number of traffic fatalities and environmental death rates among the old and the poor and worsen the living conditions for all inhabitants.
