- Its island-wide walking network combines city streets with 780 added paths, with highways and unbuilt streets removed.
Field notes
The method pairs space-syntax measures with city counts, but the simulated people do not use those measures; the project compares their routes against the predictions street by street. Its walking network combines city streets with off-street paths, and the page notes that one bridge was checked against a photo. The listed systems show a work in progress: streets, scores, and rules are built and tested, while buildings are next.
