SCOUT

An Open-Access Scenario-Oriented Urban Toolkit for Decision Support

Scenario-oriented urban toolkit for decision support

Two SCOUT dataflows comparing alternative accumulated shadow scenarios — Evaluating two alternative accumulated shadow scenarios: each dataflow loads a data layer, runs a shadow model with its own parameters, and the outcomes are compared side by side.

SCOUT is a decision-support toolkit shaped by requirements from experts across multiple urban domains that operationalizes a decision-making framework through a dataflow model for combining urban data and models and a scenario-oriented visualization grammar that treats decision alternatives and outcomes as first-class objects.
