Human Activity Signals
Programming, social attention, temporal rhythm, and nearby pedestrian / cycling flow. An experimental aggregate layer that complements the spatial scores. Treat these numbers as partial and confidence-scored. See methodology for what each source actually measures and data-ethics for what we will and will not collect.
Currently rendering an illustrative sample fixture (10 named parks). Real-source coverage will land here as the activity layer expands.
