Topography Dataset

Overview
This dataset contains elevation points captured for all building footprint features in New York City. Each record represents the elevation of a specific building location, enabling fine-grained analysis of topography across the city. Since the dataset already includes geospatial coordinates and elevation values, no processor script was needed.

Dataset Generation
The dataset is obtained directly from NYC Open Data, published by the New York City Department of Information Technology & Telecommunications (DoITT) as part of the NYC Planimetric Database (The NYC Planimetric Database: Elevation Points dataset ). The raw CSV is downloaded and stored in the standard topography/ data directory.

More information about how this dataset was generated can be found here.
