Compared with the rest of the country

The map is cut into six-sided cells 55 m across, and every cell that a street passes through gets a score: we call these street cells.

In Bari, 63% of the street cells are in the most walkable fifth, more than the 20% of an average place.

The most and least walkable areas

Each street cell takes the name of the nearest neighbourhood, village or town on OpenStreetMap, up to 1.5 km away. We rank the 18 areas where people live: each has at least 200 street cells and 500 buildings, and at least a quarter as many buildings per street cell as Bari as a whole, so ports, hill parks and farmland drop out.
