Explore current and future projections of data center locations and supporting infrastructure.
Install dependencies with npm install.
Start a development server with: npm run dev
Create a production version of the app with: npm run build
Preview the production build with: npm run preview.
The app is deployed to GitHub Pages automatically on commits to the main branch.
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).
