Working with the local authorities, we've mapped nearly 30 km of sidewalks in the Bang Sue district, providing a comprehensive view of the area's pedestrian infrastructure. The AI-generated map data also includes nearly 1,000 trees and 60 marked pedestrian crossings, reflecting the quality and safety of the area for people on foot.
Our data enables the discovery of interesting walkability insights from the Bang Sue district: Wong Sawang Street has the highest density of trees per kilometer, yet it features the narrowest sidewalks. Conversely, Pracha Rat Sai 2 Street emerges as the least green, with the fewest trees per kilometer but the widest sidewalks.
In today's most car-centric digital maps and navigation apps, pedestrian experiences often get overlooked. Street view imagery, typically sourced from moving vehicles, reinforces the idea that cities prioritize cars over pedestrians. footpath.ai challenges this narrative by offering street views captured from a pedestrian's viewpoint, providing a different, fresh, and invaluable perspective on urban environments.
What may appear as a walkable street from the vantage point of a car often proves to be quite different when experienced on foot - or vice versa. The intricate details of a city's architecture, the vibrant street life, and the joyful feeling of seeing kids wandering through alleyways come to life when explored at a walking pace. Whether it's strolling through the streets of Bangkok, walking along the harbors of Sydney, or navigating the bustling avenues of London, the true essence of these iconic destinations can only be captured and appreciated on foot.
