This product contains the spatial raster dataset grids from 1975 to 2100 at 5 years interval representing the settlement classification per grid cell and, for the year 2025, the vector layers of the delineated boundaries of settlement entities (i.e. urban centres, UC, dense urban clusters, DUC, semi-dense urban clusters, SDUC, and rural clusters, RC) with main attributes, in vector files (country, area, population, built-up surface and population weighted centroid) and the list of country capitals with reference to the entity IDs.

This product contains the spatial raster dataset grids representing the distribution of the total built-up (BU) surfaces estimates between 1975 and 2100 in 5 years intervals. The data between 1975 and 2020 is obtained from the GHS-BUILT-S R2023 product and the 2025-2100 total built-up surface projections are computed considering a stable non-residential built-up surface and modelling the growth of the residential component of the total built-up surface.
This product contains the spatial raster dataset grids from 1975 to 2100 at 5 years interval representing the distribution of human population, expressed as the number of people per cell. Residential population estimates at 5 years interval between 1975 and 2020 are derived from the raw global census data harmonized by CIESIN for the Gridded Population of the World (GPWv4.11) combined with population trends obtained from the Urban Agglomeration time series of the UN World Urbanisation Prospects 2018 (UN WUP 2018 - F22). The 2025-2100 population projections are computed following the 2000-2020 local growth rate in subnational Functional Areas converging to the national growth rate (UN World Population Prospects, 2024) in 100 years and downscaled using CRISP methodology.
The spatial raster dataset depicts the distribution of built-up surfaces, expressed as number of square metres. The data report about the total built-up surface and the built-up surface allocated to dominant non-residential (NRES) uses. Data are spatial-temporal interpolated or extrapolated from 1975 to 2030 in 5 years intervals. For the temporal anchor point of 2018 the data is published at 10m as observed from the S2 image data.
The spatial raster dataset depicts the distribution of residential population, expressed as the number of people per cell. Residential population estimates between 1975 and 2020 in 5-year intervals and projections to 2025 and 2030 derived from CIESIN GPWv4.11 were disaggregated from census or administrative units to grid cells, informed by the distribution, volume, and classification of built-up as mapped in the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) global layer per corresponding epoch.
