If you want to download a street network for a specific OSM boundary then you can use osmnx to download the boundary. The boundary can then be passed to cityseer for generating a network.
Download the boundary. Go to OSM and select the relation ID for the boundary that you’d like to download and pass it to ox.geocode_to_gdf().
import osmnx as ox
bounds_gdf = ox.geocode_to_gdf(
"R1536593", # OSM relation ID
by_osmid=True,
)
# optionally use to_crs() to project to a target CRS
# returns a geoDataFrame - union for the geom
bounds_geom = bounds_gdf.union_all()
bounds_geom
You can optionally project to a required CRS by using geopandas to_crs() methodo before taking the union. This is generally recommended if you want to apply a buffer to the geometry (assuming a unit such as metres).
Buffer and simplify depending on preferences. Make sure your distances correspond to the unit of the current CRS!
# buffer if wanted
bounds_geom = bounds_geom.buffer(0.01) # WGS - 4326
# some simplification is recommended
# otherwise the request to the underlying API used by io.osm_graph_from_poly()
# might complain that the boundary description is too long
bounds_geom = bounds_geom.simplify(
0.001 # WGS - 4326
) # here the CRS unit is degrees hence the small number
bounds_geom
Now you can pass the boundary to cityseer to download and create the network.
from cityseer.tools import io, plot
G_nx = io.osm_graph_from_poly(
bounds_geom,
# 4326 by default - use projected CRS instead if you projected your GDF
poly_crs_code=4326,
simplify=False, # set to True for automatic simplification
)
