Sandrine Robert et al., « MorphAL (Morphological Analysis) : un outil d’analyse de morphologie urbaine », Presses universitaires François-Rabelais, ID : 10.4000/books.pufr.7717
Until recently, morphological urban analysis, particularly of land plots, required costly manual data manipulation or relied on unshared tools which were inaccessible to users. To facilitate this analysis, the MorphAL software (MorphAL for Morphological Analyis) has been developed to automate a set of processes and indicator calculations in order to characterise the morphology of the urban tissue from vector data. MorphAL has been released under open source licence to ensure free access to users. The technical specificities are presented together with the first results obtained from an analysis of the Paris area.
