Overall density (from previous cal) Number of buildings in the area
From our findings there are some preliminary conclusions related to the high number of buildings in our three areas, unproportionally to the number of stops and transit lines. This gives some clear indication of the planning of the area and the need for a better coverage of the accessibility to transit stops in comparison to the density and buildings in the area.
8.4 Measuring and investigating Mixed use
The classical approach to mixed use would consider this indicator either at the isolated building level, by understanding the percentage of services allocated into a single building or it would simply identify the overall percentage of the services in the area and make a simple deduction on the areas surface. In our case we
