Hi OSGeo Members,

Hoping everyone is doing very well,

Following Dr. Rajat Shinde's suggestion, I am pleased to share a new 
open-source library we recently released for the GIS community with the goal of 
(1) laying great groundwork for the GIS community like Scikit-Learn did 10 
years ago in France for the ML community, globally.  (2) GIS end users may not 
be tech-savvy, but with today's education and vibe-coding trends, a readable 
but customisable enough API should be a win win for all type of users, 
regardless of the coding-skill level.

Pleased to share.  Urban Mapper is allowing for ~15-Python-line urban analysis 
pipeline that can be replicated, shared, and explored in real time using 
external integrations such as the excellent open source Jupyter GIS support.  
In a nutshell, query an urban layer, which could include streets, roads, 
intersections, crosswalks, sidewalks, neighbourhoods, states, or countries.   
On the other hand, you have open-or-private urban datasets that are rich in 
information, if not longitudinal datasets for long-term study.  Urban Mapper 
allows you to map, spatial join, and enrich the urban layer of interest, 
following the application of as many as urban statistics possible from your 
dataset using our simple Python API, which is highly typed & checked safe to 
avoid side effects, followed by a Scikit-Learn-like pipeline to stack any 
enrichers (augmentation of urban layer based on urban dataset statistics) to 
save and share with your team around!

I will cut short as the documentation is much more flourished for the interests 
folks in this list, note that it is the early stages of the library, more are 
being cooking-up at the moment but we would love to help, at least someone in 
the world with their GIS workflow. If you find the library nice & promising, 
feel free to star us to spread the word –– It really helps! we do not have 
tunnel-vision mindsets, so open issues to discuss and critique for global 
improvement of the Open Source GIS community!

Wishing you all a very lovely week ahead, I am new to OSGeo, but Dr. Shinde 
mentioned applying to be a potential referenced project. Any preliminary 
feedback would be appreciated if you want to kindly dedicate 5 minutes of your 
day, meanwhile I will keep reading around!

Cheers,
