Hello!
I'm working on a microsimulation of a city (based on UrbanSim). This simulation includes a map, which I intend to import from OpenStreetMap.
I have a set of households, which represent the population of the city.
Now, for every household I need to find a more or less realistic location of the place, where it lives, ideally at the level of buildings.
Then, I could assign each household to a building in the city.
* * *
To do this, I need to write a program, which
a) reads the OpenStreetMap of the modeled city and
b) returns a list of all buildings there, ideally with information on
b.1) type of building (residential or not),
b.2) how many people can reside in that building and
b.3) coordinates or any other information that allows me to find the building on the map.
If I wanted to write such a program, where should I start?
Thanks in advance
