Data measurement for appraising street environments-Addis Ababa case study
In this unit, you’ll get a practical introduction to Non-Motorized Transport (NMT) surveys. Conrad shares his experience from a project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, demonstrating the entire process from data collection to analysis.
He explains how to use GIS tools to visualize and interpret the survey data, focusing on three key areas: street design, building design, and network design.
You’ll learn how to identify and address common challenges encountered in urban environments, such as obstructions, street furniture, and the impact of active frontages. This unit provides a clear overview of NMT survey methodologies and their application in improving urban walkability.
Dive into the video and then join the discussion! If you’ve worked with NMT surveys, tell us about your project and the hurdles you encountered. If you’re new to NMT surveys, where do you envision applying them? Share your insights in the comments below!
