spaceratio is an R package for charting density potentials in the built environment using Space Ratio, or the ratio of the existing density to the permissible density, and the Space Ratio Chart (Bolton, 2021).

For more information about Space Ratio, you can read this journal article published in Sustainable Cities and Society.

spaceratio can be installed from Github.

# Density variables
d_var = c("FAR", "H", "DPH", "GSI")

# Space Ratios
s_val = c(0.75, 0.8, 0.95, 0.91)

# Visualise the Space Ratio Chart
spaceratio(density_var = d_var, space_ratio = s_val, output = 'plot')
