Summary

This
metadata record provides details of the data supporting the claims of the
related manuscript: “Urban Access Across the Globe: An
International Comparison of Different Transport Modes ”.

The
related study examines the relationship between population-weighted access (the
ease of reaching valued destinations) and metropolitan population in global
metropolitan areas (cities).

Type of data:
access, calculated as the cumulative number of jobs reachable under a 30-minute
travel time threshold

Subject of
data: 117 cities from 16 countries and 6 continents

The access
data are openly available as part of this figshare
metadata record in the file ‘AllCities.csv. A list of all cities included
in the study, along with the sources of the data used for each city, is
available in the file ‘SI for Urban Access Across the Globe-An International
Comparison of Different Transport Modes.pdf’. Both of these files are also
