Challenge
Walking quality is hard to see in crash stats alone. Victoria Walks and partners needed community evidence on comfort, barriers, and missing links in the pedestrian network.
Approach
WalkSpot (2017) used CrowdSpot so residents could pin places that support or frustrate walking, with comments that turned local knowledge into a spatial dataset — including strong local activity across Darebin suburbs such as Preston and Reservoir.
Outcome
Nearly 2,400 spots and thousands of supports created a walking-focused evidence base for infrastructure and place priorities.
