Context
Taimoor Nagar and New Friends Colony sit next to each other and are not walked the same way. The studio scored the streets of both against a fixed instrument, which makes the comparison a matter of record rather than impression.
Role
Street audit, scoring and visualisation
Audited and scored streets by section, then drew the results four ways — as a heatmap of every street and section, as a profile by road hierarchy, and as two scatters testing the score against footpath width and against vehicle speed.
Process
A score is only as good as what it is tested against. The two scatters exist to check the instrument: if effective footpath width and driver behaviour do not move with the walkability score, the score is measuring something other than walking.
