Use buildings shapefiles instead of land use shapefiles for the static scenario analysis

[doorleyr]

The land use shapefiles reflect the areas pf parcels rather than the built area- therefore using them for the scenario analysis will overestimate the building capacities and therefore the residential and working populations.

However, the buildings files do not have a CSL_Land_Use_Type column, which is needed for the analysis. This can be added by overlaying the land-use shapefile with the building shapefile and assigning each building to the CSL_Land_Use_Type of the parcel with which it overlaps. This can be done is GIS software or by using the overlay() function in python geopandas.

Hi @doorleyr doo, the building files already have CSL Land_Use_TypeType in scenarios 0,1,2,3,4. You can view it again. Let me know if you see it.
