Urban analytics for the built environment
Urbanize scores any location on the 5 Ds of the built environment — density, diversity, design, destination, and distance to transit.
Capabilities
Building coverage, road density, intersection counts, land-use diversity — computed from OpenStreetMap and Google AI building footprints in seconds.
Every analysis scored on Density, Diversity, Design, Destination accessibility, and Distance to transit — the framework from Ewing & Cervero (2010), operationalised with full data provenance.
2.4M+ AI-extracted building footprints from Google Open Buildings v3. Google Places for POI counts and ratings. OSM for road networks and historical data. Both sources shown side by side.
Overpass Attic queries from 2015 to present. Building coverage trends, road network expansion, land-use shifts — quantified with signed deltas.
CSV exports include the exact Overpass query, data timestamps, formula references, and benchmark bands. Download GeoJSON for GIS. Ready for academic citation.
