Revolutionize agriculture by converting abandoned malls into indoor farms. A bit of research identifying mall sites in the US that could be transformed to maximize social impact through sustainable solutions. Explore the future of urban farming!
A programmatic spatial analysis was then performed using Python to evaluate the physical characteristics and financial projections of the potential mall structures. Using research on indoor farming modules, values were extrapolated for the mall locations based on volume capacity. Formulas are simplified, but show potential profits if consumption rates can be maintained for over 10 years of operation.
Concept
User-compiled data of all declining mall sites in a geodataframe projection.
Potential Structures Near Coord.
Constraints that a mall coordinate must fall within structural polygons having between 10,000m2 and 100,000m2 of area.
