Urban Density (GFZ) for Berlin Planning Areas, 2009

Urban density data from the Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie measures the intensity of building use in Berlin's planning spaces (LOR). The dataset provides the GFZ (base area number), a ratio of total floor area to plot area, as of November 2009. It is served via a WMS (Web Map Service) format.

Use Cases

• Model urban density patterns based on the GFZ (base area number) metric.
• Analyze land-use intensity for city planning based on the ratio of floor area to plot area.
• Map building density across Berlin's planning spaces (LOR).

Strengths

• Data is provided by the Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie, a national mapping agency.
• The GFZ metric is a standardized measure for urban density and building use intensity.

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.
