+-   [Paris, France](./notebooks/experiments/03-Paris.ipynb)
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+```python
+from verus import VERUS
+from verus.data import DataExtractor, TimeWindowGenerator
+from verus.grid import HexagonGridGenerator
+
+# Extract default urban data from OpenStreetMap
+extractor = DataExtractor(region="Porto, Portugal")
+poi_data = extractor.run()
+
+# Define default time-based vulnerability scenarios
+twg = TimeWindowGenerator(reference_date="2023-11-06")
+time_windows = twg.generate_from_schedule()
+
+# Generate analysis grid
+grid = HexagonGridGenerator(region="Porto, Portugal", edge_length=250)
+hex_grid = grid.run()
+
+# Run vulnerability assessment
+assessor = VERUS(place_name="Porto")
+
+# Load extracted data
+assessor.load(
+    potis_df=poi_data,
+    time_windows_dict=time_windows,
+    zones_gdf=hex_grid,
+)
+
+# Perform assessment and get results
+evaluation_time = tw_gen.to_unix_epoch("2023-11-06 17:30:00")
+results = assessor.run(evaluation_time=evaluation_time)
+
+# Visualize results
+map_obj = assessor.visualize()
+
+# Save results to file
+assessor.save("./results/porto/")
+```
+
+## Features
+
+-   Extract points of interest from OpenStreetMap for any city
+-   Create hexagonal grid systems for spatial analysis
+-   Implement OPTICS density-based clustering for identifying urban patterns
+-   Apply K-means clustering with Haversine distance for geographic data
+-   Generate time-dependent vulnerability assessments
+-   Create interactive maps for visualization with folium
+-   Export results in various formats (GeoJSON, CSV, HTML)

+# Best Practices for Maintaining Your Changelog
+
+1. **Always Update the Changelog:** Add entries as you implement changes, not just before release.
+2. **Group Changes by Type:**
+
+-   `Added` for new features
+-   `Changed` for changes in existing functionality
+-   `Deprecated` for soon-to-be removed features
+-   `Removed` for now removed features
+-   `Fixed` for any bug fixes
+-   `Security` for vulnerability fixes
+
+3. **Keep an "Unreleased" Section:** Track changes that haven't been - released yet.
+
+4. **Date Format:** Use YYYY-MM-DD format for release dates.
+
+5. **Link to Release Tags:** Add links to GitHub/GitLab release tags at the bottom of the file (if applicable).
+
+6. **Mention Breaking Changes Prominently:** Make sure users can easily identify changes that might break their code.
+
+7. **Use Plain Language:** Write for humans, not machines. Explain the impact of changes.
+
+## Sample Implementation with Git Integration
+
+If you're using Git, you can enhance your changelog management:
+
+1. Create a release branch:`git checkout -b release/0.1.0`
+
+2. Update version number in your project files and changelog
+
+3. Commit the changes: `git commit -am "Release 0.1.0"`
+
+4. Create a git tag: `git tag -a v0.1.0 -m "Release 0.1.0"`
+
+5. Push to remote: `git push origin release/0.1.0 && git push origin v0.1.0`
+
+This process ensures your changelog and version information are always in sync with your actual releases.
+
+## Additional Tools
+
+Consider using automated changelog generation tools to help maintain your changelog:
+
+-   **auto-changelog:** Generates a changelog from git metadata
+-   **standard-version:** Automates versioning and CHANGELOG generation
+-   **keep-a-changelog:** Helps generate changelogs following the Keep a Changelog format
