Multi-Atlassing in Urban Architectural Design

What is Multi-Atlassing?

Multi-atlassing refers to the integration of multiple geospatial datasets or atlases to analyze urban environments. These atlases may include land use, transportation, demographics, environmental data, infrastructure, and socioeconomic indicators.

Why Use Multi-Atlassing?

• Identify spatial correlations (e.g., pollution vs. income)
• Model urban growth and infrastructure needs
• Support equitable and sustainable development

Tools & Technologies

• GIS Platforms: QGIS, ArcGIS, Google Earth Engine
• Libraries: Leaflet.js, D3.js
• Techniques: Spatial data fusion, machine learning, 3D modeling

Use Case: Galway Urban District

Imagine designing a new district in Galway. Multi-atlassing helps overlay flood zones, population density, transport access, and green space availability to inform design decisions.
