Belvedere · Urban Centre
How much of daily life sits within a walk of home — a transparent 0–10 walkability score and the everyday destinations you can reach on foot: shops, public transport, schools, parks and health services, plus the streets and terrain in between.
A gentle slope of 5.1% defines the landscape of Belvedere (L), but the area remains heavily car-dependent. While every home is within a 15-minute walk of a park, almost no other daily needs can be met on foot. This creates a stark contrast where green space is abundant but essential services are out of reach.

0.9
Car-dependent of urban centre areas.
A 0–10 score for how much of daily life sits within an easy walk of the average home — weighing how close groceries, public transport, cafés, parks, health services, schools, culture and everyday services are, and how many of each. Walking times are measured on an elevation-aware pedestrian network, so hills count against reach. The methodology page describes how the score is put together.
