Urban Taxonomy using Hierarchical Morphotope Classification (AT, CZ, DE, LT, PL, SK)

This data product accompanies a research manuscript entitled “The Hierarchical Morphotope Classification: A Theory-Driven Framework for Large-Scale Analysis of Built Form”. It contains the classification of the entire building stock of 6 European countries, geographically split based on NUTS1 regions. Available data Contents {NUTS1}.parquet - Hierarchical Morphotope Classification results linked to building geometry {NUTS1}_morphotopes.parquet - Hierarchical Morphotope Classification results linked to morphotope geometry {NUTS1}_data.parquet - Underlying morphometric data linkable to building geometry morphotope_data.parquet - Aggregate data linkable to individual morphotopes label_name.json - Names of the cluster labels for first three levels of taxonomy pen_portraits.json - Descriptions of the clusters for first three levels of taxonomy ward_linkage.npy - The taxonomy itself encoded as scipy linkage object File formats Majority of the data is stored as Apache Parquet, with geospatial data being encoded as GeoParquet. The data is split regionally based on NUTS1 regions. {NUTS1}.parquet - GeoParquet 1.1.0. ZSTD compressed, with GeoArrow geometry encoding and covering bbox for fast spatial queries. {NUTS1}_morphotopes.parquet - GeoParquet 1.1.0. ZSTD compressed, with GeoArrow geometry encoding and covering bbox for fast spatial queries. {NUTS1}_data.parquet - Parquet, ZSTD compressed morphotope_data.parquet - Parquet, Snappy compressed. All characters for non-outlier morphotopes - used to build the taxonomy. label_name.json - JSON pen_portraits.json - JSON ward_linkage.npy - Numpy NPY License This dataset is based on data from multiple sources.
