I dont trust the scales either. Philly seems quite zoomed out, Boston zoomed in.
Philly proper is almost entirely covered by green and blue, which extends out into its suburbs. Very little pink, except in industrial areas.
Chicago proper extends below the bottom of the map here, with lots of pink pockets in the south side.
It would be cool to somehow cross-referennce these maps with population density, to get a sense of *how many* people live in blue/green areas vs pink, and then rank order the cities by % of population in walkable areas. In this case, Chicago would easily be #2
