Walkability map of Diemen-Zuid, Amsterdam showing 5, 10, and 15-minute walking isochrones around an apartment with grocery, cafe, and pharmacy locations.

Using OpenStreetMap data, I analyzed the walkability of my old neighborhood, Diemen-Zuid in Amsterdam. Starting from my former apartment, I ran a network analysis in ArcGIS Pro to generate isochrones (service areas) for 5, 10, and 15-minute walking times, then overlaid OSM amenity data, including grocery stores, cafes, and pharmacies, to visualize what is truly accessible on foot.

Highlights

  • Generated 5, 10, and 15-minute walking isochrones from a single origin with ArcGIS Network Analyst.
  • Built the pedestrian network from OpenStreetMap data.
  • Overlaid OSM amenities (groceries, cafes, pharmacies) to assess everyday walkable access.
