Global indicators for pedestrian streets by city

This dataset contains two indicators regarding pedestrianized roads in several cities around the globe. Namely, the dataset describes the "Total length of Pedestrian Streets (km)" and the "Share of Pedestrian Streets (%)" by city. We used OpenStreetMap (OSM) geospatial data and integrate the EU and OECD definition of cities to create comparable global indicators. The results reveal a chasm in car-free development mainly between Southern and Western European cities and their peers in other continents. Further details can be seen in the following paper: Bartzokas-Tsiompras, A., & Photis, Y.N., Utilizing OpenStreetMap data to measure and compare pedestrian street lengths in 992 cities around the world, IOP Conf. Ser.: Earth Environ. Sci, 2021.本数据集收录了全球多座城市的步行化道路相关两项指标。具体而言，数据集按城市维度统计了「步行街道总长度（千米）」与「步行街道占比（%）」两项核心数据。本研究采用开放街道地图（OpenStreetMap, OSM）地理空间数据，并结合欧洲联盟（European Union, EU）与经济合作与发展组织（Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, OECD）的城市定义标准，以构建具备全球可比性的标准化指标体系。研究结果显示，南欧与西欧城市的无车化发展水平，与其他大洲的同类城市间存在显著差距。详细信息可参阅以下论文：Bartzokas-Tsiompras, A., & Photis, Y.N., 《利用开放街道地图数据测算并对比全球992座城市的步行街道长度》，IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science，2021年。
