General

What are the Density indicators?

The Density indicators exists of three parameters which define density in an area. The parameters are:

  • FSI - Floor Space Index; which gives information about the intensity of the buildings in relation to the open space. The higher the index is, the more buildings and/or floors there are.
  • GSI - Ground Space Index; which gives information about the relation between built and open space. The lower the index is, the more open space there is in the area.
  • OSR - Open Space Ration; which gives information about the spaciousness and pressure on the open space. An high FSI ensures a low OSR. The higher the OSR is, the more open space there is.

This indicator is useful for projects where for example:

  • Density analysis is an important aspect of the project
  • a new neighborhood is designed

Calculation

Score

The score is represented in a progress bar, with a scale from 0 to 100%. Determine if you want to calculate the absolute or relative score.

Additional configurations

For this indicator to function, an extra attribute has to be added to the Neighborhood in where the houses will be build and a new Global has to be defined to set the total housing target. Read below for the steps.
