Proposal
This proposal is introducing the new "urban" key and the "urban:typology" key, with possibility of application to other relative keys such as "urban:density" and "urban:structure".
The key:urban is describing a location characterized by high human population density and many built environment features in comparison to the areas surrounding it.[2]
The key:urban:typology is describing the the taxonomic classification of (usually physical) characteristics commonly found in urban places, according to their association with different categories.[3]
Rationale
During our project of NGT Zanzibar, we came across with the need to...
- explain why not use the key:landuse or the key:landcover
