The six month feasibility study funded by Innovate UK prototyped a data-driven urban behaviour change model to focus on nudging walking behaviours in the urban environment as a way of improving air quality, providing individual and public health tools, and building community connectedness. The intervention focused on decreasing driving behaviour for walkable journeys. Around 50% of all car journeys in London are under 3km.

Collaborating with local partners Transport for London, Lambeth Council, schools and other community leaders we co-created “Badgerscape”,

In the prototype, children gather points collected from adult team members to rise through game levels. Points are generated by adults on a smart phone tracking app, which can track walking behaviour such as steps, distance, calories, and map routes.   Data generated by kids and their adult teams are currently aggregated and visualized in player leaderboards. By designing with the children, Walk the Talk was able to design for the narrative styles and characters that allowed information, incentive and motivation to come alive through the eyes of children, their parents and the connected community.
