With growing numbers returning to the city streets, it is clear that public space (or lack of it) can hamper our ability to keep a safe distance. The Social Distancing Dashboard is stepping up to this challenge. It offers an overview of different factors affecting our ability to respect social distancing rules. By developing high-resolution maps, we are highlighting detailed information relevant to social distancing in an urban setting - such as the wide of the footpath and the location of bus stops and other transport hubs.
The resulting dynamic and color-coded maps are available for use by policymakers, charged with making decisions on public health and city planners, tasked with making COVID-19 related interventions in the urban space.
The dashboard is also relevant to city residents - especially hose in risk groups - who want to navigate the city streets as safely as possible.
