On this episode with Dr. Jeff Boeing from USC, we delve into the importance of OpenStreetMap as a global mapping resource and the utility of his Python library, OSMnx, for simplifying data analysis and visualization. The discussion covers how urban design influences various aspects of daily life, emphasizing the importance of open data in creating accessible urban analysis tools. Listeners are encouraged to explore Python programming, focusing on libraries essential for map-making and data visualization in the context of urban studies.
OSMnx allows researchers and urban planners to seamlessly access OpenStreetMap data, making insights on urban design and city planning more accessible and understandable.
Urban design significantly impacts daily life, shaping experiences from transportation options to community resilience against disasters like floods and earthquakes.
