The UrbanXplorer™ Platform

Some of UrbanXplorer™'s unique features are listed below.

VUES

UrbanXplorer™ provides “VUEs” to a web mapping service such as Google Maps, Bing Maps or YaHoo maps. A "VUE" is a themed “lens” into a locality. This lens is associated with a specific dataset (such as businesses, jobs, land parcels, energy use, etc) and provides interlocked queries, thematic mapping, and 3D temporal and spatial analysis tools to probe this dataset.

Polygons and Points

The nature of UrbanXplorer™'s map display makes a VUE unique. Two map layers, a polygon layer and a point layer, work in tandem to simultaneously display both aggregated and disaggregated data across the map. Thematic polygon layers provide a colored (or thematic) display of information aggregated to sub regions on a map (such as census tracts, city blocks, neighborhoods). These layers serve as a backdrop to the point layers or, if the point layer is toggled off, can be stand-alone.

Thematic Time Series Mapping

The UrbanXplorer™ platform features thematic mapping by any variable, across time, coloring regions according to user-defined variables. An interactive timeline enables users to switch between years, and a "region ranking list" automatically re-sorts regions based upon the variables and year selected.

Selected Area Details

UrbanXplorer™ features a "Map Details" box for any selected area. The Map Details report includes toggle-controlled statistical summaries and detailed listings of the selected area. All area reports can be exported to Excel spreadsheets. Multi-year datasets are exported as multi-spreadsheet Excel workbooks, with one page dedicated to each year.
