Geographical Characterisation of British Urban Form and Function using the Spatial Signatures Framework

Spatial signatures characterise space based on form and function in a way designed to understand urban environments. This data product, part of the Urban Grammar project, contains a typology of spatial signatures in Great Britain. Each type has a distinct character capturing what the place looks like (form) and how it is used (function). The data product contains bespoke Signature geometry with signature type, summary of input variables per each geometry and per each type, interpolation of signature types to OA and LSOA geometry and short pen portraits for the typology, shorthand descriptions of the characteristics of each signature type. The interactive map showing the typology is available at https://urbangrammarai.xyz/great-britain/. More details about the project can be found at the project website https://urbangrammarai.xyz.

空间特征通过形态与功能的结合，旨在深入理解城市环境。本数据产品为“城市语法”项目的一部分，涵盖了英国空间特征的类型学。每种类型均具有独特的特征，捕捉场所的形态（形式）及其使用方式（功能）。数据产品包含了定制的特征几何形状，包括特征类型、每个几何形状和每种类型的输入变量摘要，以及特征类型向 OA 和 LSOA 几何形状的插值，还包括对该类型学的简短素描，以及每个特征类型的特征简述。展示类型学的交互式地图可在https://urbangrammarai.xyz/great-britain/查阅。关于该项目的更多详细信息，请访问项目网站https://urbangrammarai.xyz。
