The Footprints of Every Building in NYC – Updated Weekly

The footprints of every building in NYC – updated weekly

I explore the incredible dataset from the New York City Office of Technology and Innovation that tracks over one million building footprints with weekly updates. Using photogrammetry and LiDAR, this data captures the city's rapid evolution, from the 1652 Pieter Claesen Wyckoff House to modern skyscrapers, while also preserving the digital ghosts of demolished structures.

"The pace of change is so rapid in fact, that the New York City Office of Technology and Innovation publishes weekly updates to one of its most fascinating datasets –the footprints of every building in New York City."
