Urban Taxonomy using Hierarchical Morphotope Classification (BE, ES, FR, NL)

This data product contains an extension of the Urban Taxonomy database following the method for classification of built fabric outlined in the research manuscript “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 4 European countries, geographically split based on NUTS1 regions. See details at urbantaxonomy.org and the original data release this extends. 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 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 assign morphotopes to the taxonomy. License This dataset is based on data from multiple sources.
