The Just 15-Minute City Tool is an ArcGIS Script Tool that measures the ability of different locations in a community to access community resources. The tool creates a 15-minute radius of walking, cycling, and e-scooter-ing and creates an aggregate accessibility score for each section of the study area.
This tool uses Fainstein's Just City framework and the idea of a 15-minute city to understand who has access to these resources, and can they get to them in 15-minutes without owning a vehicle.
The tool is based on the following model
- Download the 'Just_15_Minute_City_Tool.py' file
- Open a new ArcGIS pro project
- In the project toolbox right click and add new script to toolbox
- In execution, navigate to this script file and select it
