About

walkable

Features
Read full description

Walkable is a tool for users and authorities of pedestrian infrastructure to make walking more attractive and safer. This is how it works: a user takes a photo of a place to be improved or a good example and uploads the spot with his title and comment. The spot is then displayed on the map and shown in the list. Other users can put emphasis on spots with their votes and can participate in finding solutions in the discussion. Cities, engineering companies and political interest groups as well as journalists can stay up to date about the problems and preferences of the local pedestrian community. Small problems should be able to be fixed quickly and for the larger problems, the site serves as a digital memory so when major interventions have to be made, nothing is forgotten.
