The final version of the streetscape morphometrics is included in the version 0.9.1 of momepy. Please see the streetscape.py module within pysal/momepy repository.

Running the example

You can reproduce the example-france.ipynb using the environment defined by Pixi.

Install Pixi if you don't have it and then install the locked environment:

pixi install

Use the environment to open Jupyter Lab and execute the notebook.

pixi run jupyter lab

Output files

The files in the data/output folder are generated using the momepy.Streetscape class and are saved as Apache GeoParquet files, to reduce their footprint. GeoParquet can be opened using geopandas.read_parquet and converted to any other file type as needed.
