The Healthy Streets Index scores every street in relation to the Healthy Streets Indicators using a different datasets. It provides a score between 0 and 100 for how healthy every street and can help inform decisions about where we live, our travel routes and urban planning.
The Healthy Streets Index has been created by a multidisciplinary team of experts in public health, urban planning, environmental and data science. This dataset was created using GIS techniques to validate, standardise, weight and combine key datasets. These datasets reflect the key factors determining the appeal of streets for walking, cycling and spending time in.
The Healthy Streets Index combines expert curated datasets for noise, air quality, traffic dominance, pavement space, tree cover, street network and public transport connectivity, land use, population and attractors. The data sets are each weighted according to their relative role in streets being healthy and attractive environments. As further high quality, pertinent data sets become available we will update the Index, improving its accuracy and richness.
The team behind the index encourage people to experiment and create new, innovative products using the data.
