Hi Kyle,
This looks amazing! I wouldn't be surprised if this can be useful for e.g. urban economics, to compute measures of how cities and urban areas grew. Like LA eating into the San Fernando Valley, for instance.
- kylebarron 5y agoOh hi Sergio! Hope you're doing well. I'm not in the economics field anymore, but it would be cool to see if an economist could use this data. It's probably a little harder to use because you'd have to apply some vectorization techniques on the maps to get more usable road network data.
- zzleeper 5y agoDefinitely true! But if there's a good question then that's definitely doable. Also I noted your change of field; your github repos and starred repos that pop up on my github main page are much more interesting that the usual r/stata repos Thanks agains for the contributions, GIS and carto are definitely a super fun and useful field with a greater bang-for-the-buck than most economic papers!
