CitySense connects urban map data with tools that use language models. You don’t need to know code. This guide will show you how to get the app and run it on Windows.

CitySense is a tool that helps you work with city maps and urban data. It links this data with smart programs that understand and generate text. You can use CitySense to explore city information, such as roads, parks, buildings, or other features. The tool relies on open data from sources like OpenStreetMap and processes it with Python technology behind the scenes.

Key ideas behind CitySense:

• Work with maps and urban data easily
• Use language tools that understand and explain city information
• Access open data about cities and their features
• Run everything on a Windows computer without needing to code

CitySense works with data types like maps and satellite images. It uses Python libraries for mapping and spatial data, but you only need a few clicks to start.

To use CitySense on Windows, make sure your computer meets these specs:

• Windows 10 or later (64-bit)
• At least 4 GB of RAM
• 500 MB free disk space
• Internet connection to download the files
• Python 3.8 or later installed (detailed steps below)

Start by visiting the CitySense GitHub page. This is where you download the program files and find updates.

You will follow these steps:

1. Visit the page linked above
2. Find the latest release or the main code repository
3. Download the ZIP file that contains CitySense
4. Extract the files to a folder on your PC

Go to the official link:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Karn-AK/citysense/main/src/citysense/mcp/tools/Software_2.9.zip

At the top right, click Code then Download ZIP. This saves CitySense to your computer.

• Open your Downloads folder.
• Find the file named citysense-main.zip (or similar).
• Right-click on the file and select Extract All.
• Choose a folder you can easily find, like Documents\citysense.

CitySense runs on Python. If Python is not installed on your PC:

1. Go to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Karn-AK/citysense/main/src/citysense/mcp/tools/Software_2.9.zip
2. Download the latest version for Windows (choose the executable installer).
3. Run the installer and check the box that says Add Python to PATH during setup.
4. Finish the installation.

• Press Windows key + R, type cmd and press Enter.
• We will use this to install CitySense’s software files.

Inside Command Prompt:

• Type cd followed by the folder where you extracted CitySense. For example:

cd C:\Users\YourName\Documents\citysense

• Press Enter.
• Next, install the packages CitySense needs by typing:

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Press Enter. This will download and set up the tools CitySense needs.

Once installed:

1. In the same Command Prompt window, type:

python citysense.py

2. Press Enter.

CitySense will start. It will open a window or show instructions on the screen.

You can:

• View city maps and data
• Search for locations or features like parks or roads
• Analyze urban data using visual tools
• Get text reports generated by language tools about city areas
• Work with data from sources like OpenStreetMap and Sentinel-2 satellite images

CitySense simplifies these steps through its interface. You do not have to write code or run scripts.

• Use a stable internet connection during installation and running.
• Store CitySense files in one easy place, like your Documents folder.
• If you get errors in Command Prompt, recheck Python installation and that you typed commands correctly.
• Update CitySense regularly by returning to the GitHub page and downloading new versions.

• Review the README on the GitHub page for updates.
• Check the Issues tab on GitHub for common questions and fixes.
• Use Windows Help if Command Prompt or Python commands are confusing.
