By observing activity and gathering data at key locations, we created a snapshot of today’s public life—information that will help the city plan safe, welcoming, and vibrant spaces for residents and visitors during the World Cup and beyond.Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 United Stateshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/us/Public life studyDowntown SeattleTransportation planningCommunity mobilityUrban designWalkabilityArticlehttps://doi.org/10.6069/bt9e-bj05
