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:

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
