Description
The general goal is to simulate flows/stock data of urban territories using readily available data at larger scale (i.e. national); we'll use a "proxy-parameter(s)" (which can be as simple or complex as needed), known at both large-scale and urban scale to bridge the two scales and output (simulated) urban flows/stocks.
We aim to collect data from standardized sources, and if possible available globally.
There are a series of datasets involved in this downscaling approach:
large-scale/national-level datasets
These datasets should contain :
1. An explicit territorial description (e.g. shp file)
2. Flow/stock data
3. indicators that can be used as proxy
e.g.: IRP global MFA
→ of course, these can be a combination of datasets!
urban scale dataset
should contain:
1. An explicit territorial description (e.g. shp file)
2. indicators that can be used as proxy
e.g.: NUTS for europe
→ of course, these can be a combination of datasets!
cross-scale data for enrichment
These are data at a scale that is compatible with the two above-mentioned scales, and which provides possible enrichment of the two datasets.
e.g.: Building characteristics from OpenStreeMap could be used in the proxy-parameter for downscaling
the task is :
1. find and discuss the datasets in the appropriate section of the Spec. document
2. input the datasets in the database
