What are the plot ratios for major cities in the world?

Question

Plot ratio is the ratio of the land area to the total floor space in a building - also called the Floor Space Index or Floor Area Ratio in the US. It is a measure of density for space. Tall buildings which have a large floor area due to the many floors in the building but a small "footprint" ie built on small plot of land, have high plot ratios. I am looking from a reliable source the average plot ratios for central areas in major cities such as London, NYC, Paris, Barcelona, HK and Singapore etc. Any pointers?

To find cities, I would suggest urban planning academic jurnals. City Planning Departments for the big ones and a review of peer reviewed literature for accuracy.

Google is your friend.

Answer 2

That sounds like something that only the individual cities would have readily available.

Your only possible source other than that is if someone or group has done a study and already compiled statistics.

Below is what may be a 'typical' study.

[It's at least a place to start]

I used "Average Plot ratio" in my Yahoo search.
