I now live in San Francisco.<br /><br />My perception is that the density of people on London's streets is higher than here but according to Wikipedia San Francisco's population density is higher at 6,800/km2 to London's 5,285/km2.<br /><br />What gives?Sinclair Z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04572698774571076829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37583332747236920.post-84952078646481552052013-01-28T13:28:47.214+00:002013-01-28T13:28:47.214+00:00Thanks Tom.

We should have new 2011 Census data on the mode share of journeys to work at small-area geography this week (Wednesday 30th I think), so in theory it should be fairly straightforward to compare the two.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04831368698879583744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37583332747236920.post-55702980536987575172013-01-28T10:10:02.642+00:002013-01-28T10:10:02.642+00:00This is really interesting, both the method and th...This is really interesting, both the method and the results.<br /><br />In sustainable transport planning, usually 60+ homes per hectare is considered sufficient to support a decent public transport service, local amenities for walking, and so on. So it's amazing how much of London falls below that. It would be interesting to see how strong the correlation is between this and car ownership, or usage, or walking, though I don't know that this is available at such a granular level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37583332747236920.post-42814622846603821032013-01-27T15:05:38.340+00:002013-01-27T15:05:38.340+00:00Thanks Tom, much appreciated.
