Momepy is a project allowing advanced quantitative analysis of urban morphology. Embracing principles of Urban Morphometrics (Dibble, 2017), this toolkit aims to provide tools for the development of complex frameworks for a description of urban structures.
momepy stands for Morphological Measuring in Python
The development of momepy is still in its initial phase. The whole structure of the package can always be changed, until the release of first versions on PIP. Momepy is a result of ongoing research of Urban Design Studies Unit (UDSU) supported by the Axel and Margaret Ax:son Johnson Foundation as a part of “The Urban Form Resilience Project” in partnership with University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, UK.
Comments, suggestions, feedback, and contributions, as well as bug reports, are very welcome.
Documentation of momepy is available at momepy.readthedocs.io.
Momepy is not yet released. At this moment, you can either download the GitHub
repository to work with momepy or install the latest development version
from GitHub:
pip install git+git://github.com/martinfleis/momepy.git
Please ensure that you have all dependencies installed as momepy setup
currently does not specify dependency requirements.
Momepy depends on the following packages: geopandas, libpysal, osmnx and tqdm. All of the packages are currently required, which will be changed in future.
