Construct Flexible Urban Delineations

v0.2.3 · Jan 11, 2026 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

Enables the construction of flexible urban delineations that can be tailored to specific applications or research questions, see Van Migerode et al. (2024) <DOI:10.1177/23998083241262545> and Van Migerode et al. (2025) <DOI:10.5281/zenodo.15173220>. Originally developed to flexibly reconstruct the Degree of Urbanisation classification of cities, towns and rural areas developed by Dijkstra et al. (2021) <DOI:10.1016/j.jue.2020.103312>. Now it also support a broader range of delineation approaches, using multiple datasets – including population, built-up area, and night-time light grids – and different thresholding methods.
