  1. #GISChat #UnpopularOpinions: Our GIS-based sidewalk width analyses are grossly underestimating real-world physical #distancing issues. The problem is much bigger than the data would make you think!

      Even if sidewalks are mapped, it's hard to reliably quantify their width (and there are some great datasets here in Vienna link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10109-017-0245-2)

          It's our job as GIS analysts to make theses limitations clear to journalists and decision makers before we start patting ourselves on the back! futurezone.at/science/tu-forscher-zeigen-wo-es-in-wien-zu-eng-ist/400808234
