Strado.info debuts as a free, data-driven platform that scores every neighborhood in 50 major European cities based on what residents can reach within a 10-minute walk. Using open data from OpenStreetMap, the site analyzes over 20 million data points across 22 categories, including grocery stores, healthcare facilities, public transit, parks, cafes, restaurants, bars, and cycling infrastructure.
The platform aims to provide objective, transparent insights for anyone moving to a new city, apartment hunting, or exploring urban livability. Unlike traditional rating systems that rely on opinions or sponsored content, Strado delivers block-by-block hex maps with clear, quantifiable scores.
Key Features
- Coverage: 50 cities including London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Madrid, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Vienna, Prague, Lisbon, and many more across Europe. strado.info
- Detailed Scoring: 22 categories measured at the street level, allowing users to compare neighborhoods on specific priorities like dining (e.g., thousands of restaurants in top cities), nightlife, transit access, or green spaces.
- Practical Tools: Users can browse interactive maps, view neighborhood guides, and soon access a mobile app or browser extension for real-time scoring on apartment listing sites like Idealista, Immobiliare, and Rightmove. strado.info
“Moving to a new city? Know the area before you sign the lease,” the site emphasizes, highlighting how many neighborhoods look appealing online but may lack everyday amenities within walking distance.
Strado positions itself as 100% free and open data, with a charitable note: the project is supporting a young boy named Maksymilian in his fight against Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
The tool arrives at a time when walkability and “15-minute city” concepts are gaining traction among urban planners, remote workers, and families seeking convenient, sustainable lifestyles. Early users can explore city pages for detailed breakdowns and hidden gem neighborhoods that locals prefer.
