Questions from planners

An urban context analysis describes how a site or neighbourhood works: its land use, density, built form, movement network, open space, amenities and environmental conditions. UrbanEyes quantifies each of these and maps them.

Yes. Maps exports GeoJSON and KMZ, so you can continue in QGIS, ArcGIS or Google Earth.

OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps for buildings, roads and land use, the Open-Meteo archive for climate and ESA WorldCover for land cover. AI-generated narrative metrics are marked with sources and confidence.
