Description

This archive contains simulated super- and miniblock locations for different cities as outlined in Eggimann (2022): The potential of implementing superblocks for multifunctional street use in cities. Nature Sustainability. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41893-022-00855-2

The street geometries are processed geometries originating from OpenStreetMap. Map data copyrighted © OpenStreetMap contributors and available from openstreetmap.org. If you use this data, make sure to cite OpenStreetMap as outlined:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Researcher_Information.

All data is provided as ESRI shapefiles and GeoJSON files.

The street files contain the following attributes:

    Attribute         Explanation
    NDI                  Calculated network disruption indicator as outlined in the publication
    NDI_class        Classified NDI category as outlined in the publication
    class                Street type classification.
      other                Other street types, i.e. not classified
      service             Service roads (same as in OSM)
      pedestrian        Pedestrian street (corresponding to pedestrian and living street in OSM)
      large                 Large road (corresponding to primary, secondary road trunk roads including road with a tram (see publication))
      superblock       Superblock street type
      miniblock          Miniblock street type

The super- and miniblock files contain the following attributes:

    Attribute    Explanation
    b_type        Classification of either super- or miniblock
    inter_id       Random id
    area            area (m2)
