CityLume Planner NTL Based Urban Structure and Planning Intelligence
Plugin ID: 5391
CityLume Planner is a QGIS plugin for analyzing nighttime light dynamics, urban structure, planning mismatch, future urban centers, and spatial planning action priorities using NTL time series, POI, building, road, population, and spatial plan allocation data.
The plugin transforms multi year NTL and supporting spatial datasets into urban dynamics classes, future core probability, shrinking risk, center hierarchy, planning mismatch typologies, and action matrix recommendations for evidence based urban and regional planning.

CityLume Planner provides an integrated spatial planning intelligence framework for diagnosing urban growth, decline, center hierarchy, and planning mismatch using nighttime light time series and complementary urban datasets.
It combines NTL trend analysis, POI and building aggregation, road accessibility, optional population raster, optional spatial plan allocation, and optional planned center data to produce interpretable planning indicators and recommendations.
Outputs include an analysis grid, future core candidates, CSV and XLSX summaries, modern PNG maps and charts, GIF animations, metadata JSON, and an automatic diagnostic TXT report.
CityLume Planner is designed for urban structure evaluation, spatial plan monitoring, future service center detection, growth control analysis, urban regeneration diagnostics, and evidence based planning policy support.
