A historical geospatial dataset from around 1920, created by Ferdinand Reimer of TU Wien, depicting the building stock of Vienna. It includes a building stock map with an attribute table, areas considered out of scope, and the defined scope for an analog building age map. The dataset is available under an Open Access license.
Use Cases
- Analyze historical urban morphology based on the building stock map.
- Identify areas excluded from historical analysis based on the 'areas out of scope' layer.
- Define the study area for historical comparisons using the 'scope of analog building age map' layer.
- Conduct attribute-based queries on building characteristics using the provided attribute table.
Strengths
- Includes multiple related geospatial layers (building stock, out-of-scope areas, study scope) for a holistic view.
- Has an associated attribute table for the primary building stock map, suggesting structured data.
- Originates from a known academic institution (TU Wien).
Limitations
- Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
