Slides presented at FOSS4G conference in Buenos Aires. 


Zones are key building blocks used for analysis and creating models (mental and statistical) of urban and environmental systems.


Used in a range of fields from biodiversity assessment to transport planning, spatially contiguous areal units break-up continuous space into discrete chunks.


Many methods rely on good zoning systems, including origin-destination analysis, geographically weighted regression, and choropleth visualisation.
