Visual Representations of How People Move around Cities
The exercise app, Human, recently complied user data that shows maps of the various activities people use to transport around 30 different cities across the world. The app detects activities such as walking, running, cycling, and driving in the background of one’s IPhone. The app is one year old and the developers complied all the data since the app was created to create these visualizations on their site. You can click on a map of one of the 30 cities and it will bring you to a pie chart that breaks down the percentage of people moving by each form of transportation. It will also compare the individual city’s pie chart to the international average. It is fascinating to see at how people move differently within certain cities.
Washington, D.C. is one of the cities they chose. Check out the pie chart for DC below:
