CLOSE is a very neat visualization project that shows where to locate in city neighborhoods essential amenities within a short distance of travel. “Proximity governs how we live, work, and socialize. Close is an interactive travel time map for people who want to be near the amenities that matter most to them.”

This can be a very handy tool for travelers who often have no clue how to access local sites when visiting a new city. Currently only focused on U.S. cities, but hopefully, the creators will be expanding to Europe and beyond really soon.
