IM3 Open Source Data Center Atlas

Explore current and future projections of data center locations and supporting infrastructure.

Developing

Install dependencies with npm install.

Start a development server with: npm run dev

Building

Create a production version of the app with: npm run build

Preview the production build with: npm run preview.

Deploying

The app is deployed to GitHub Pages automatically on commits to the main branch.

Data Layers

First download the various raw data layers:

Projected data centers: tbd (get from Kendall)

Existing data centers: https://data.msdlive.org/records/65g71-a4731

Fiber density: https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/home

Municipal water service: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9I22Z24

Transmission lines: https://hifld-geoplatform.hub.arcgis.com/datasets/geoplatform::transmission-lines-1/about

Then use the datacenters.ipynb notebook to transform the data into the layers used by the app. Note that the transmission and water supply layers are further transformed into vector tiles using tippecanoe. The commands to do this are provided in the notebook. But note the need to slightly alter the resulting metadata.json to properly define the tiles (look at this repository history to compare if you regenerate the tiles and need to see an example).
