Revising urban blocks in Wrocław - a GIF collection
Δημοσιεύτηκε από τον/την Mordechai23 στις 26 Οκτώβριος 2021 στα English. Τελευταία ενημέρωση στις 4 Ιούλιος 2022.This is a collection of gifs illustrating the process of me and other mappers redrawing landuse, buildings, paths and other objects in my home city - Wrocław
Most gifs represent the state of OSMcarto immidiatelly before and after the main bulk of my edits in the area and thus may not include later changes made by me or other contributors
Current goal is to revise the core city centre of Wrocław and then possibly other densely populated areas. I focus on realigning and correcting the geometry of existing buildings and adding missing footways, driveways, green areas and landuse, while ignoring the City’s street grid and POIs
Those edits are mainly based on areal photos from 2018 and 2021, complimented by photos from fotopolska.eu and of course my own observations made while strolling around ;)
Why?
- First of all, before my edits there was next to none landuse in the city centre and not much more in the suburbs.
- Secondly, most of buildings here are remnants of an old, poorly executed import and are often misaligned, crossing each other or were simply demolished since 2011. Some buildings were broken down into small parts without using building:part tagging
- But most importantly, we’re observing a big influx of new users contributing via StreetComplete and other similar tools. Those users often edit the old, problematic buildings, with huge issues with geometry, potentially causing problems later. By replacing those, I try to provide more meaningful challanges for those users to complete ;)
