This map is a collaboration between Urban95 and NUR as part of the "Cities for Children" initiative, exploring how accessible Beer Sheva's neighborhoods are for families with young children.
Methodology
Each building's accessibility score is calculated by counting amenities reachable within walking-time isochrones (5, 10, or 15 minutes) computed from the pedestrian street network. Trees are included but weighted at 1/4 the value of other amenities. Building colors use a percentile scale — each color band represents an equal share of buildings, so relative differences are visible regardless of the count range. Neighborhood and city-level statistics are aggregated from these per-building scores.
Data
The map uses building footprints, points of interest including healthcare facilities, educational institutions, commercial areas, and recreational spaces, street tree locations, and neighborhood boundaries throughout the city.
