Urban Compactness Study

Senior Image Analyst

Feb 2018 - Aug 2018

Defining urban population density is always a difficult and complex task in the real world. Measuring two-dimensional population density is easy but when it comes to deciding about compactness of a city, it got complicated because of the living pattern of a city. We are building the methodology to calculate urban compactness without missing the vertical growth of a city.
