The maps are part of a series of researches done by IE University covering the case of Segovia, with the aim of investigating what can leveraged or act as addition to the city’s improvement. The research is approached in such a way as to identify measurable factors that are experienced from the the human scale (the ground) consequentially in the greater zoning and urban fabric conditions seen from above (the Sky).
