Multi-scale harmonisation Across Physical and Socio-Economic Characteristics of a City region (MAPSECC): London, UK

<p>A new methodology and comprehensive database (<strong>M</strong>ulti-scale harmonisation <strong>A</strong>cross <strong>P</strong>hysical and <strong>S</strong>ocio-<strong>E</strong>conomic<strong> C</strong>haracteristics of a<strong> C</strong>ity region, <strong>MAPSECC</strong>) is developed that connects physical characteristics of a city (building morphology and materials, land-surface cover) with socio-economic aspects (building function, microenvironments of activity, urban transport infrastructure, residential and workplace populations, human activities), and is demonstrated for London, UK (<strong>MAPSECC: London</strong>). The database fulfils input requirements for dynamic and multi-scale urban modelling approaches. Dataset components combine and harmonise information from primary sources (often government agencies) through novel downscaling and aggregation methods to give a traceable, repeatable methodology.
