Sample data for analysis of demographic potential of the 15-minute city in northern and southern France

This upload contains two Geopackage files of raw data used for urban analysis in the outskirts of Lille and Nice, France. The data include building footprints (layer "building"), roads (layer "road"), and administrative boundaries (layer "adm_boundaries")extracted from version 3.3 of the French dataset BD TOPO®3 (IGN, 2023) for the municipalities of Santes, Hallennes-lez-Haubourdin,Haubourdin, and Emmerin in northern France (Geopackage "DPC_59.gpkg") and Drap, Cantaron and La Trinité in southern France (Geopackage "DPC_06.gpkg").

Metadata for these layers is available here: https://geoservices.ign.fr/sites/default/files/2023-01/DC_BDTOPO_3-3.pdf

Additionally, this upload contains the results of the following algorithms available in GitHub (https://github.com/perezjoan/emc2-WP2?tab=readme-ov-file)

1.  The identification of main streets using the QGIS plugin Morpheo (layers "road_morpheo" and "buffer_morpheo") https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/morpheo/

2.  The identification of main streets in local contexts – connectivity locally weighted (layer "road_LocRelCon")

3.  Basic morphometry of buildings (layer "building_morpho")

4.  Evaluation of the number of dwellings within inhabited buildings (layer "building_dwellings")

5.  Projecting population potential accessible from main streets (layer "road_pop_results")
