About accessibility
An urban accessibility toolkit that grew into a distributional-equity toolkit.
accessibility, from IPEA's geo team, computes how reachable opportunities are given a travel matrix and land use data. Since the 1.0.0 rebuild it has widened well past reachability metrics: 1.1.0 added inequality and poverty estimation alongside spatial availability and balancing cost, 1.2.0 added the concentration index and Theil T, and 1.3.0 let spatial_availability() return results per origin-destination pair with the underlying balancing factors exposed.
