Hey /n/, thought you guys might be interested in this.
>OSMnx is a Python package for downloading administrative boundary shapes and street networks from OpenStreetMap. It allows you to easily construct, project, visualize, and analyze complex street networks in Python with NetworkX. You can get a city’s or neighborhood’s walking, driving, or biking network with a single line of Python code. Then you can simply visualize cul-de-sacs or one-way streets, plot shortest-path routes, or calculate stats like intersection density, average node connectivity, or betweenness centrality. You can download/cite the paper here.

Huh. I'm actually a GIS guy and it looks like I could use this for automating even more mindless stuff.

Does it do anything more than what you can do with qgis or arcmap? It looks just as usual network analyst to me.
anyway, it's a good website, lotsa nice ideas.

Not really.

This is actually really cool. I've made a procedural city roadway generator, and always wanted to get around to generating the buildings. This would be a cool way to have much more valid road grids and generate the buildings inside of them.

Looks neat. I majored in Geography but there is still so much about GIS I don't know. I feel like I really should get around to learning Python.
I noticed Wikipedia really needs some nice looking maps in my metro area and this looks it could be very useful to making some reference maps.

download qgis
also don't forget about licences, not sure how is wikipedia OK about OSM
that's where all the free data come from usually

I know Wikipedia and OSM are compatible, you can find a lot of OSM maps on Wikipedia. I also know TIGER files are fair game for Wikipedia too because they are public domain.
My region has a website with hundreds of GIS shapefiles/resources that are really useful. I'm just not entirely sure of their licenses because they are often not specified. On the one hand they are all government agencies publishing data and state data is considered public unless otherwise specified. The regional planning agency has the most interesting shapefiles and they are technically an entity of the state but I think things still get complicated there. I may just have to ask Wikipedia editors if they are fair game.
