Region, City, Neighborhood
This section looks at risks and opportunities in the area of interest at three distinct scales: the region, the city, and the neighborhood.
Within each scale, we examine what infrastructure, services, transit, and risk-attracting entities exist and how for those entities are from your area of interest.
We conclude each scale with an analysis of that scale, summarizing the situation on the ground.
Infrastructure, ports, transit, services, and risk are covered at every scale. These maps are not for navigation, but best understood as heat maps, showing the concentration of "Points of Interest" at each scale.
