Does anyone have/know where I can find a shapefile/dataset of the building footprints of the city of Guayaquil in Ecuador?

this type of information is so hard to get here in Ecuador. I went through all of the government database pages but there is none containing the information i am looking for.

Geofabrik has shapefiles you can download of OpenStreetMap data. It looks like building outlines in Guayaquil are pretty sparse, but it could get you started.

Shapefiles are available at http://download.geofabrik.de/south-america/ecuador.html (Edit: Actually shapefiles aren't available for Ecuador strangely as mentioned in Mapperz comment. You will have to convert the pbf file)

  • Thank you Matthew! and yes, data in Ecuador is very hard to find. I think I am going directly to the institution in charge of city planning!

  • Did this answer work, or are you still looking for other potential sources for the building footprints?
