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.
Description: The spatial raster dataset depicts the spatial distribution of the building heights as extracted from the filtering of a composite of global digital elevation models (DEM) and the filtering of satellite imagery using linear regression techniques The used input DEMs are the ALOS World 3D - 30m (AW3D30, 2006-2011) and the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission 30m (SRTM30, 2000). The building heights extracted from these sources are updated using the support of the shadow markers extracted from the Sentinel2 image data composite of the year 2018 (GHS-composite-S2 R2020A). The Average of the Gross Building Height is the result of dividing the built-up volume by the grid surface. The Average of the Net Building Height is the result of dividing the built-up volume by the built-up surface.
The layers present the application of the Degree of Urbanisation stage I methodology recommended by UN Statistical Commission to the global population grid generated by the JRC in the epochs 1975-2030 (5 years timestep). They have been generated by integration of built-up surface extracted from Landsat and Sentinel-2 image data processing (GHS-BUILT-S R2023), and population data derived from the CIESIN GPW v4.11 (GHS-POP R2023). This product (v2) is an update of the data released in 2023 (v1) based on GHS-BUILT-S, GHS-POP and uses an updated definition of Semi-Dennse Urban Clusters. The Settlement Model is provided at the detailed level (Second Level - L2). First level can be obtained aggregating L2.
The spatial raster dataset delineates the boundaries of the human settlements at 10m resolution, and describe their inner characteristics in terms of the morphology of the built environment and the functional use. The Morphological Settlement Zone (MSZ) delineates the spatial domain of all the human settlements at the neighboring scale of approx. 100m, based on the spatial generalization of the built-up surface fraction (BUFRAC) function. The objective is to fill the open spaces that are surrounded by large patches of built space. MSZ, open spaces, and built spaces basic class abstractions are derived by mathematical morphology spatial filtering (opening, closing, regional maxima) from the BUFRAC function. They are further classified accordingly to the information regarding vegetation intensity, water surfaces (GHSLANDGLOBER2022A), road surfaces (OSM highways), functional use (GHS-BUILT-CFUNGLOBER2023A), and building height (GHS-BUILT-HGLOBER2023A).
