MORPHINT: Urban Morphology and Intensity Analyzer QGIS 4 compatibility

Not QGIS 4 ready Active

Not yet — the latest version declares max QGIS version 3.99.0, so it is not offered to QGIS 4 users.

MORPHINT is a QGIS Processing plugin for analyzing urban morphology and development intensity from building footprints and raster data. It computes parcel-based intensity indicators such as Building Coverage Ratio (BCR), Floor Area Ratio (FAR), and Open Space Ratio (OSR), and derives detailed building morphometrics including compactness, shape index, elongation, convexity, solidity, and fractal dimension.

About

MORPHINT provides an integrated workflow to support urban and regional planning analysis when parcel or cadastral data are incomplete or unavailable. By generating parcels through Voronoi, grid, or Momepy tessellation, the plugin enables planners to assess development intensity, urban form, and spatial efficiency at parcel and building scales. MORPHINT is designed for zoning evaluation, density and capacity analysis, infill versus sprawl diagnostics, urban design review, and green space screening using optional NDVI-based vegetation proportion. The tool is particularly suited for strategic spatial planning (RTRW/RDTR), urban morphology research, and data-driven planning studios.
