Liveability from aerial images

Dataset accompanying our paper on monitoring the liveability of cities from overhead images in the Netherlands. Our dataset combines liveability information based on surveyed resident opinions and hedonic pricing with aerial overhead images. A total of 51,781 liveability grid cells covering 100 by 100 meters are paired with aerial images of 1 meter pixel resolution with 500 by 500 pixels. Patches are distributed across 13 built-up areas of varying sizes and historical backgrounds. The Leefbaarometer 2.0 labels are made available by the Dutch Ministry of Internal Affairs (CC0),  and the aerial images are made available by the Dutch cadastral services (CC BY 4.0)

In our future work we will make time series data available, therefore enabling the longitudinal monitoring of urban liveability from overhead imagery on an unprecedented scale.

The code to work with the dataset can be found in the GitHub repository accompanying the paper.
