Full size imagePedestrian network modelEvaluation of local neighbourhood walkability and access to amenities was underpinned by assumptions of valid street network data. Evaluation of access to any public open space was based on a measure used by the VPA60. The magnitude and direction of differences in estimates for access to public open space when using the OpenStreetMap-derived public open space datasets as compared to the VPA ‘gold standard’ varied by class of public open space. Estimates for access also varied across iterations of revisions of the method used to derive public open space features. Further detail on the implementation of the derived public open space data is provided as supplementary material.
