cityImage

A tool for analysing urban legibility and extracting The Computational Image of the City

Introduction

This repository provides a set of functions to extract salient urban features in line with the definitions laid down by Kevin Lynch in The Image of The City using open and freely available geospatial datasets.

The tools are written in Python and uses a series of libraries, including Geopandas, OSMNx, and related dependencies.

The methods are fully documented in A Computational approach to ‘The Image of the City’ by Filomena, Verstegen, and Manley, published in Cities.
