P-CAT - PERI-CENE Spatial Analysis Tool
The Peri-cene is developing the Peri-urban Analysis Tool (P-CAT) Spatial Analysis tool, as an online system which provides a local applications of a global spatial dataset.
P-CAT will establish common archetypes of representative of global peri-urbanisation, ranging from. These archetypes will be overlaid on the climatic – biome types and the associated risk layers. The P-CAT tool will draw on existing global and local datasets such as the JRC’s Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL). The results will be ground-truthed in two case studies in Chennai, India and Greater Manchester, UK.
On the P-CAT you can:
-
Visualise spatial data for the PERI-CENE 21 partner cities in the P-CAT City Visualisers
-
Contribute with geospatial data for each of the PERI-CENE 21 partner cities in the P-CAT City Surveys
-
Follow the PERI-CENE analyses and findings in the P-CAT Analyses
