OSMnx 2.0.0 has been released! 🎉 This has been a massive effort over the past year to streamline the package's API, re-think its internal organization, and optimize its code. Today OSMnx is faster, more memory efficient, and fully type-annotated for a better user experience. 🧵

Although I didn’t join the 30DayMapChallenge, but it still got me in the mood to plot some city grids using the osmnx library.

The official OSMnx reference paper was recently published open-access by Geographical Analysis: doi.org/10.1111/gean... Years in the making, it describes what OSMnx does and why it does it that way. But wait, there's more! I discuss many lessons learned in geospatial software development, including:

Day 17 #30DayMapChallenge - Sussex Street Network Orientation
I used {OSMnx} in #Python which can be used to visualise street network orientations using polar plots. Some places (e.g. Haywards Heath) are sprawling while others (Brighton & Hove) are more clearly organised grid-like.

W/ these intersection images segmented, we extracted all crossing edges embedded within OpenStreetMap (using OSMnx, thnx, @geoffboeing.com!), + overlaid them on the segmented images. Applying a grow-cut algorithm to these edges generates accurate measurements.

One Python Function to Rule Them All: How OSMnx Is Revolutionizing Urban Network Analysis + Video
Introduction: In the era of smart cities and data-driven urban planning, accessing and analyzing street networks has traditionally been a complex, multi-step process requiring disparate tools and significant manual effort. OSMnx, a powerful Python package developed by Geoff Boeing at the University of Southern California, fundamentally changes this paradigm by enabling users to download, model, analyze, and visualize street networks and other geospatial features from OpenStreetMap with just a single line of code.

My future wife works in Memphis, TN and I in Oxford, MS. I decided to create isochrone maps of commute times for both of us and compute the difference to narrow down where we want to get our new place! (Greener is better)

Should be said that the below wouldn't be possible without the work of @geoffboeing.com on OSMnx, particularly a new feature (PBF loading) that makes it extra scalable
