Each score is the median of seven points within 1 km of the city centre. Rankings include cities of at least 1,000,000 people where open map data is complete enough to score fairly. Cities with the same score are ordered by their scores across the centre, then by how many everyday places are within a walk. See the methodology, or compare cities worldwide.
