Beautiful Maps Of Human Movement Through Major Cities


July 2, 2014 | Sophie Weiner

The activity tracker app Human has created a set of beautiful maps that show the movement of a city in a day period.

These luminescent maps were created with the data collected from people using the app as they moved around major cities by walking, running, biking and motorized transport. The maps fade in from black to outline the busiest routes or most walked streets. Cities like Copenhagen light up much more for biking, while New York’s walking map quickly sprawls out in all directions. Their interactive website lets you see a breakdown of each city’s transportation habits. Check out a few of the New York maps along with their gorgeous video below.
