Measuring Neighbourhood Walkability in NZ Cities

The Measuring Neighbourhood Walkability in NZ Cities report is available for download from SHORE or Knowledge Auckland.

The report describes three measures of transport-related urban form that are being
developed using GIS and applied in New Zealand cities. The three measures are
• Walkability Index (combining street connectivity, dwelling density, land-use
mix, and retail floor area ratio)
• Neighbourhood Destinations Accessibility Index (NDAI)
• Land Use and Public Transport Accessibility Index (LUPTAI)
