A Novel Approach to Estimating Building Density in the Brussels Region
Determining the building density in the Brussels region presents significant challenges. Accurate assessment requires detailed information on the number of floors for each of the approximately 250,000 buildings and the surface area of each floor. By integrating field measurements conducted by perspective.brussels with data from the UrbIS 3D product, an initial estimate of the floor area has been obtained. This estimate is derived from the volume data of each building as calculated with the 3D model. Consequently, this has allowed for the calculation of the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of the Brussels region.
