Urbanization (Water Overlay)

Please note: This page is currently being updated.

Urbanization

The urbanization factor per neighborhood, derived from CBS data, is used for the automatic generation of sewer data. Based on this factor, a sewer area is created.

Notes

The urbanization factor is an indicator for the degree of urbanization. It ranges from 1 (dense urbanization) to 5 (virtually no urbanization).
In the water overlay wizard, the neighborhoods with a lower or equal urbanization factor than the factor provided, will get a sewer area. If you want sewer areas in every neighborhood, set this value as high as possible.
When a neighborhood does not have an urbanization factor, the value is considered to be 0, which is lower than any selectable urbanization factor in the sewer generation step. This means the neighborhood is always given a sewer area when generating.
