Multi-scale harmonisation Across Physical and Socio-Economic Characteristics of a City region (MAPSECC): London, UK

A new methodology and comprehensive database (Multi-scale harmonisation Across Physical and Socio-Economic Characteristics of a City region, MAPSECC) is developed that connects physical characteristics of a city (building morphology and materials, land-surface cover) with socio-economic aspects (building function, microenvironments of activity, urban transport infrastructure, residential and workplace populations, human activities), and is demonstrated for London, UK (MAPSECC: London). The database fulfils input requirements for dynamic and multi-scale urban modelling approaches. Dataset components combine and harmonise information from primary sources (often government agencies) through novel downscaling and aggregation methods to give a traceable, repeatable methodology.
