A dataset from the United Nations Human Settlements Programme estimating the share of urban population with access to public transport stops within walking distance. The data likely contains metrics for accessibility based on a 500-meter distance for low-capacity systems and a 1000-meter distance for high-capacity systems along the street network. It was last updated on 2026-05-06.
Use Cases
- Model urban transport accessibility based on walking distance thresholds mentioned in the description
