Urban Planning GIS App

A fast, open-source GIS tool for urban planning, spatial analysis, and geospatial data visualization. This application allows users to select areas, fetch data from OpenStreetMap (Overpass Turbo), and analyze geographic data with a focus on urban development and sustainability.

How to Use the Program

To use the program in its current state:

1. Select the Selection Tool (second icon from the left).
2. Use it to select an area on the map.
3. On the left side, choose the type of Overpass request you want to perform from the dropdown menu.
4. At the top, select the Workspace.
   • Note: Loading may take a few seconds depending on the size of the response.
5. Once the data is loaded, switch back to the Cursor Tool (which also acts as the info tool).
6. Click on a house or other element.
7. You can then change its color based on its properties.

Features

🗺️ Map Navigation & Selection

• Move around and zoom into maps seamlessly.
• Select an area using circle or polygon tools.
• Center the selection on the screen for easy analysis.

📌 Layer Management

• Add, remove, and reorder layers (vector, raster, and real-time data).
• Fetch OpenStreetMap data dynamically using Overpass Turbo.

📊 Geospatial Analysis (Planned)

• Query building and road data based on custom filters.
• Measure areas, distances, and proximity between features.
• Overlay datasets such as solar potential, pollution, or transit accessibility.

🛠️ Workspace & Project Management (Next working on)

• Save and load workspaces with selected areas and layers.
• Export workspaces for future analysis or collaboration.

🔌 Data Integration (Planned)

• Import/Export GeoJSON, Shapefiles, and other GIS formats.
• Support for WMS/WFS layers (real-time weather, elevation, etc.).
• Generate heatmaps and custom visualizations.
