Fig. 4: Urban-rural contrasts in resident’s travel time to living services and amenities with access to non- motorized transport.

Maps of mean travel time for urban residents’ living services and amenities across urban (a), peri-urban (b), and rural (c) areas, with the associated boundary layers extracted from the degree of urbanization dataset in 2020 from the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) project. d Travel time for six types of living services and amenities by walking across different urbanization (Global North and Global South) and income (high, upper middle, lower middle, and low incomes) contexts. The mean travel time for each social-economic development and income level are shown in each column as “+” symbol in white color. The mean travel time differences across urban-rural continuum degrees (peri-urban-urban and rural-urban) are also shown.
