Cadeau3/Safe-Route-Kenya

SafeRoute Kenya is a Python-powered safety app that maps community-reported incidents, calculates dynamic risk levels with time-decay, and generates the safest walking routes using intelligent pathfinding. 🌍 Safe Route Kenya A Flask-powered safety-rating app that helps users compare neighborhoods in Kenya using a simple, fast, lightweight backend. --- 📌 Overview Safe Route Kenya is a Python + Flask web application that provides quick safety insights for Kenyan neighborhoods. Users can select a location and instantly view its risk score based on simulated crime, lighting, visibility, and public-presence data. The project demonstrates backend logic, API-style routing, JSON responses, and dynamic UI updates — all built to highlight problem-solving and real-world application design.
