A collection of python tools developed to measure, estimate and allocate urban growth. Named in after George E. P. Box, the English statistician who popularised the aphorism "all models are wrong". This recognises the limitations of predictive modelling and seeks to situate their use in a broader democratic process. Urban models are not decision making tools, they are decision support tools.
The tooling is currently developed around the ESRI ArcGIS Python stack. See the environment.yml file for the required conda environment. Most of the notebooks have been sourced from private repos and as such are decoupled from their data sources. They are provided here as a public backup and record primarily for personal use.
