Walking along Powell Street in #SanFrancisco, its current state has been captured through footpath.ai's imagery and micro-mapping data. This bustling, historic corridor remains iconic but highlights the pressing challenges of urban infrastructure—limited 🌳 greenery and🚶♀️narrow walkways. 📍 https://lnkd.in/geByehie As we go through these snapshots, it’s hard not to envision how transformative the Powell Street Improvement Project (https://lnkd.in/g8vvSCgJ) could be. Wider sidewalks, public seating, artistic lighting, and perhaps a canopy of trees—visions that could redefine this iconic street beyond commerce and tourism, creating a greener, more people-centered space.

#SanFrancisco ’s sidewalks are now mapped in greater detail than ever before! We’ve published nearly 3,300 images of the city’s Financial District, Union Square, and #Chinatown, capturing the everyday elements that shape urban life: 🌳 1,239 trees cooling streets, ♿ 629 curb cuts enabling wheelchair access, 🚲 215 bike racks supporting active transport, and much more. 📍 https://lnkd.in/geByehie This isn’t just about mapping for the sake of mapping—it’s about rethinking how we see cities. Trees don’t just beautify streets; they combat urban heat and make walking more inviting. Accessible crossings and well-placed benches mean more people can move freely and comfortably. With this data, we’re helping communities and planners design streets that are inclusive, climate-conscious, and built for the people who use them every day.

Walking into a rivalry... literally! 🚶♀️We mapped the UNSW campus a while ago (modern, efficient, perfect, right?) and now, the data and imagery from the University of Sydney are live on footpath.ai! Of course, UNSW leads in many areas, but I have to admit—some of Uni Sydney’s historic buildings are truly astonishing. Rivalry aside, both campuses offer incredible spaces to explore on foot.
