Open building footprints

Open building footprint datasets help Aino map the existing built environment around a location. They are useful for understanding settlement patterns, nearby structures and the physical context surrounding a site.

Aino uses these layers to support built-form analysis, density checks and context maps when official local building data is not available.

Common data categories

Buildings, footprints, urban form and structure-level context.

Attribute table

Typical fields include footprint geometry, source, confidence, location and spatial identifiers.

What an open building record contains

Open building data works like a simple building map: every record represents a structure or group of structures. It is useful for reading the physical context around a site.

Data shape: footprint polygons with basic source and confidence context where available.
