Urban Sprawl Analysis Toolkit

Keywords: Urban sprawl - Urban planning

Functional Description: This software allows to calculate and analyse indices of urban sprawl from open data (OpenStreetMap), aimed to be used by urban scientists and urban planners. A spatialized version of indices measuring the accessibility, dispersion and land use mix is calculated. The implemented methods are described in [15].

News Of The Year: In 2019 we started a refactoring of this software, together with an overhaul of the associated web service USAT-WEB.
