VoxCity¶
Generate grid-based 3D city models anywhere on Earth from open geospatial data — then simulate solar, view, and microclimate.
VoxCity turns open building, land cover, canopy, and terrain data into a semantic 3D voxel model you can visualize, export, and run urban simulations on.
Set up VoxCity with conda + pip and authenticate Google Earth Engine.
Hands-on notebooks: generate your first model, then visualize and export it.
Task-focused recipes for Earth Engine, data sources, and Rhino import.
Understand the voxel model and the coordinate systems VoxCity uses.
Data sources, land cover classes, and the full voxcity API.
How to cite VoxCity and credit the datasets you use.
Quick start¶
from voxcity.generator import get_voxcity
# A small area in Seattle; sources auto-selected by location
voxcity = get_voxcity(rectangle_vertices, meshsize=5)
