Centroid-amenities: An interactive visual analytical tool for exploring and analyzing amenities in Singapore

Planning for civic amenities in a fast-changing urban setting such as Singapore is never an easy task. And as urban planners look toward more data-driven approaches toward urban planning, so grows the demand for more flexible geospatial analytics tools to facilitate a more iterative and granular app...
