Welcome to the City Data Portal project repository dedicated to the assement of cities' exposure to natural hazards.
This is a work in progress repository! It is not yet an official WRI repository. For more information about the project status, please contact Eric.Mackres@wri.org.
This repository provides:
- Data Exploration: Scripts for exploring cities' exposure indicators to naturla hazards: extreme heat events and flooding
- Data Pipeline: Scripts for collecting, processing and storing data needed for exposure assessment: administrative boundaries, amenity locations, population distribution, land surface temperature...
- Dashboard: Scripts for building an interactive dashboard to visualize the computed exposure indicators
| Dataset | Source | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Administrative boundaries | GeoBoundaris; OpenStreetMap | |
| Amenities | OpenStreetMap | |
| Amenities' sectors | lobal covenant of mayor GCRF | |
| Land Surface Temperature | Landsat | |
| Population | WorldPop |
