SNTF: Use of Alternative Transportation

Another of the hard data tables which provides a snapshot of the current health of London’s neighbourhoods.

This table identifies the % of a neighbourhood’s population that bikes/walks to work, something that we believe contributes to 2 of the 14 elements that have been identified by the Resident Task Force as being important for a strong neighbourhood:

  • have people that are connected (people care about their neighbours, are socially conscious and support each other, and there’s an overall feeling of “neighbourliness”)
  • are places where there’s physical connectivity (there is connection within neighbourhoods, to adjacent neighbourhoods, and to the rest of the city)

23 neighbourhoods are below the city average of 7% and 6 neighbourhoods are above it.
