Social Distancing in Amsterdam

The “social distancing society” will require fundamental changes in how people behave in public spaces. But can the city infrastructure facilitate social distancing?

This map focuses on Amsterdam’s sidewalks, pedestrian areas, and public transportation infrastructure. The goal is to showcase the suitability of current sidewalks in complying with the social distancing rules. It further highlights how public transport hubs could hinder the ability of pedestrians to practice social distancing.

DISCLAIMER

As a response to social distancing regulations, several cities have already deployed interventions like closing streets to traffic, thus widening the space available to pedestrians.
