The GBA dataset for site layout generation

<p dir="ltr">This dataset contains parcel–building samples from the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, processed into graph-structured ".gpickle" files for the GCGAN model. For each land use parcel, the raw parcel polygon, building footprints, and corresponding raster masks are normalized and encoded as a ring-topology graph in which each building node stores its relative location, footprint size, height, and neighbor-based geometric features (radial distance, pairwise spacing, and local turning angle). A super-node represents the parcel center, and parcel-level attributes such as building count, plot ratio, land-use type, and spatial compactness are recorded as graph metadata. Each ".gpickle" file therefore provides a complete sample integrating (1) building geometry, (2) spatial relationships among buildings, and (3) parcel-level planning indicators, along with aligned parcel and building masks in a fixed-resolution grid, enabling deep generative models to learn realistic and attribute-controlled building layout patterns.
