How Long Is Your Walk To School?


When my granny was a footling daughter she used to bring to walk 5,000 miles to kicking the bucket to schoolhouse everyday. through freezing air current too blinding rain. I, of course, don't know I'm born too should terminal complaining nearly a tiny 2 mile stroll to kicking the bucket to school.

If y'all don't desire to brain to your kids complaining everyday nearly their over-long journeying to schoolhouse thus y'all could operate Parallel's Schools inwards England & Wales. This interactive map provides, walking, cycling too driving times for every schoolhouse inwards England too Wales. Zoom inwards on whatever schoolhouse too y'all tin thought isochrone layers showing the areas that y'all tin walk, bike or sweat to (from the school) inwards vi infinitesimal increments.

Schools inwards England & Wales is merely 1 of Parallel's interactive maps showcased on the Mapbox blog this week. The others are Flood Planning inwards Leeds, London Atmospheric Emissions, Output Area Classifications for City of Leeds too Ward-level Population Projections for London.


Last twelvemonth too featured Parallel's interactive map of U.K. population density inwards 3D. Their ONS Population Estimates map shows the population density inwards each U.K. Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) too the historic menstruation breakdown of the population inwards each LSOA.

The population density thought on the map uses Mapbox GL's extrusion belongings to practice 3D towers on the map. The meridian of the towers represents the population density of the LSOA. In other words the higher the tower thus the greater the population density.
