The company Human has created an app to inspire people to be active for 30 minutes or more, every day. The application tracks when people walk, run, bicycle, and do other activities. Human Data visualizes the activities in 900 cities world-wide. Throughout the day, Human adds up all of the data it collects on movement and creates totals for each city. On their site, cities.human.co, you can see the statistics for all of the cities.
These statistics show interesting information comparing the amount the people move in each city. If you click to see a specific city you see the walking, biking, running, and other activities compared side-by-side, as well as comparing that city to the average city. At the bottom there is also the teleport information about the city which includes housing, cost of living, startups, travel connectivity, environmental quality and many more.
All of this information together creates a great story about these cities. Cities Human gives great insight into the movement within each city. Human geography is half of geography and it is incredibly important to study to understand what is going on in our world.
