We recently built a tool for this trend: Our tool analyses travel times in cities from different points of interest like super markets, parks, doctors etc. For now our tool is only available in German but you can take a look at our translated front-page and explore our tool in one german city: Front page [google translated]: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https://15-minuten-stadt.de https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https...

This is amazing, thanks! Not sure how exactly you calculate, but couldn't you extend this tool "automatically" (I know there are pitfalls) to all places in the world which are well covered by OpenStreetMap?

  The calculation is very easy apply on any city you can find in OSM data artifacts. Will do this in the near future!

    Any plans on doing this for non German cities? I'd love to see this for Dakar or New York or Mumbai

      yes! we will definitely do this in the future for cities worldwide.

      Not exactly this, but here’s a website which calculates isochrones (regions included in a certain travel time) based on OSM data: https://commutetimemap.com/ https://commutetimemap.com/

      Ok we have done this now for 3 non-german cities. The 20-km boundary of the box are our system limit atm. Would love your feedback on it! https://15-minuten-stadt.de/test/New%20York/ https://15-minuten-stadt.de/test/New%20York/ https://15-minuten-stadt.de/test/San%20Francisco https://15-minuten-stadt.de/test/San%20Francisco https://15-minuten-stadt.de/test/Tokyo/ https://15-minuten-stadt.de/test/Tokyo/

        Interesting to see how the 'local recreation' measure on Manhattan can change so much just depending on which side of Central Park you are. Also, Treasure Island ranks surprisingly well in SF!

    great! there is also the python package osmnx[1] to calculate isochrones by yourself. Also check geoff boeing's blog[2]. if you are into geo spatial things. [1]: https://github.com/gboeing/osmnx https://github.com/gboeing/osmnx [2]: https://geoffboeing.com https://geoffboeing.com

  See my reply below, we updated the site with 3 non-german citys. Would love your feedback on them. I try more some more cities in the next days.

This is great! Are you doing a pan-european version? There's soething similar for the US at https://www.mapnificent.net/ https://www.mapnificent.net/ if anyone's curious

Nice work guys! I was just wondering whether this is the case for me. I live in Frankfurt and I think it is really the case. The travel times by public transport are a bit long though to other parts of the town. I.e. I live in Gallus and need roughly have an hour to Ostend or even almost an hour to Preungesheim, including walking to the station though. So for such a small city that is quite weird, but I guess the green map shows that I should be happy anyway.
