Route, walk, rate & repeat!

On WalkObserver people who walk rate the quality of the walking network of their city, including their daily personal routes. WalkObserver bundles your voices to create an aggregated picture of all the routes and single subjective ratings.

City of Zurich

This is how WalkObserver users move and how they rate the walking network in their city. The overall score for a segment is calculated from the ratings of all users. You can find more information about the creation of routes, the rating and its calculation method in the FAQ.

What we do

We are a politically independent, civic movement. We want everyone from 8 to 80 to be able to walk safely and without fear. We built this platform so that you, as a person walking, can tell which walking paths you consider safe, free of conflicts, and attractive.

What we route, rate and track
Foremost we offer to rate the city's walking paths by photos. Second you have the possibility to create personal routes and rate them too. Gradually the aggregated network as walked today by its citizens will emerge. Third and last, we add voluntary tracking. Tracking will reveal the most travelled segments of the walking network. Today, your ratings will reveal how walking-friendly your city is – and in the long term, they will show whether the city's measures and infrastructure changes will lead to real improvements for its citizens. Your routes and tracks on the other hand will help to put the focus on the parts of the walking network where improvements are most needed and would be most effective.
