Description
The data set provides the output of a genetic algorithm optimizing a stylized urban region with respect to three target functions: urban compactness, climate regulation as an exemplary ecosystem service and vascular plant species richness as a measure of biodiversity.
The optimisation varies the spatial allocation of three types of land cover blocks in a stylized urban region: high- and low-density and park blocks which consist of green and/or built-up cells. We systematically vary landscape composition at the block level, but keep city size constant.
The data set is related to a publication submitted to Frontiers in Environmental Science.
