Resumen
The challenge of understanding the connection between the needs and usage of amenities and services in a given population has been amplified by segregated land use and urban sprawl.The ability to travel long distances and the lack of integrated planning approaches have further obscured the relationship between proximity and demand, particularly in the context of a 15-minute walkable city. However, there is growing recognition among urban stakeholders that walkable communities are critical for achieving social integration, economic vitality, and environmentalsustainability in cities. To achieve this level of walkability, neighborhoods and communities must be designed and structured in ways that enable daily activities to be conveniently accessed within walking distance. In this context, by using Safegraph and Replica data [correlated], this paper presents a methodology for optimal distribution of amenities, taking into account not only thequantity and size, but also the appropriate distances from housing. The methodology is based on the analysis of mobility patterns and the use of logistic regression to determine the distances thatpeople are willing to walk to each amenity, referred to as “walking boundary”. By combining the frequency of use with the walking boundary, this methodology responds to the amenity needs of apopulation.
