###  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.
