I didn’t know R when I wanted to do spatial analysis. So I used some tools I knew: Turf.js & GeoJSON. For a spatial join, I created a hex grid and created attributes for each cell based on how features intersected.

Here's a before/after visualization of the updated Walk Potential Calculations for #BloomingtonIN described above. The one labeled "2023" is before. In broad strokes it is similar. It's noticeable how more area around the university scores higher while more areas on the fringes of the city get the darkest color now. Categories were made with Jenks natural breaks.

The first group believes the system will work for them and has time to advocate for it.

The second group may not believe the system will work for them, and maybe it doesn’t or hasn’t, or doesn’t have time or understanding to advocate for themselves.

Both groups deserve good infrastructure.

#SpatialEquity

I’ve served on a Bike/Ped Commission for years and met neighbors who are good about advocating for better sidewalks in their neighborhoods.

Then I go out and explore the city and find other neighbors have “made the road by walking”. They’ve pounded desire paths into the earth by daily use, yet never showed up to a meeting to complain.

This is why it’s so important that #urbanplanning is based on comprehensive, objective data and not just complaints.

How many mayoral campaign donations are local and which neighborhoods are they from?

@sergerey @rsfrankl @geography Congratulations! 🍾 I may have to pick up a copy! I used self-taught spatial analysis to calculate the walk potential of my city and analysis objectively the fairest and most useful locations to fund sidewalks. https://mark.stosberg.com/new-software-to-calculate-walk-potential-for-cities/
