How many buildings are there in a city? What are their characteristics? Where
2018-04-11 17:54:30 -04:00
are they located and how do they contribute to the city? How adaptable are
they? How long will they last, and what are the environmental and
socio-economic implications of demolition?

Colouring Cities is a web-based citizen social
2018-04-11 17:54:30 -04:00
science project designed to help address these questions by crowdsourcing and
2023-02-09 06:05:13 -05:00
visualising twelve categories of information on the buildings in our cities.

## Structure
This repository will contain open-source code for the project which:
2021-11-05 09:04:12 -04:00
2018-04-11 17:54:30 -04:00
- stores building footprint polygons and source metadata
- allows site users to record building attribute data
- serves map tiles rendered from collected data
- allows site visitors to download the collected building attribute data
Building attribute data collected as part of the project will be made available
2018-09-10 07:41:08 -04:00
for download under a liberal open data license
([ODbL](https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/)).
