In 2024, footpath.ai expanded its reach to cities across the globe, capturing pedestrian spaces shaped by unique histories, cultures, and visions for the future. From the historic alleys of Doha to the superblocks of Barcelona and the bustling streets of San Francisco, our work highlights the diversity of human-centered urban spaces.
Doha: Souq Waqif’s Living History
Souq Waqif in Doha is where the past meets the present. Through our mapping, we captured shaded walkways, quiet corners, and historic lanes that guide visitors through this cultural treasure. These aren’t just routes; they’re invitations to pause, sip qahwa, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere.
Barcelona: A City for People
Barcelona’s Carrer del Consell de Cent has transformed from a traffic-filled corridor to a pedestrian haven. With leafy trees, inviting benches, and bike racks, this street reflects the city’s bold vision for walkability. Our micro-mapping of over 15 kilometers of Barcelona’s pedestrian infrastructure offers a glimpse into how cities can prioritize people over cars.
San Francisco: Opportunities for Change
In San Francisco, our imagery highlights both the charm and challenges of iconic streets like Powell Street. Narrow sidewalks and limited greenery underscore the need for initiatives like the Powell Street Improvement Project, which envisions a greener, more people-focused space.
Across the world, walkable cities aren’t just a possibility, they’re a growing reality. By capturing the essence of these spaces, footpath.ai helps cities design for the people who call them home.
