Urban Public Transport Accessibility in Sudan

Estimated share of Sudan's urban population with access to a public transport stop within a walking distance of 500 or 1000 meters along the street network. The dataset was produced by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) Data and Analytics Section and was last updated on 2026-05-06. It is available in CSV and XLSX formats under a PDDL-1.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling urban transport equity based on walking-distance accessibility thresholds.
• Assessing public transport network coverage for low and high capacity systems.
• Informing infrastructure investment decisions for last-mile connectivity.
• Benchmarking city performance on sustainable development goals related to transport.

Strengths

• Data is provided by the authoritative UN-Habitat Data and Analytics Section.
• Focuses on a specific, policy-relevant metric for urban transport accessibility.
• Last updated on 2026-05-06, suggesting relatively recent data.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description is high-level; the methodology and underlying data sources are not detailed.
