| Description |
The GHS-BUILT-S spatial raster dataset depicts the distribution of the built-up (BU) surfaces, expressed as number of square metres, estimates between 1975 and 2030 in 5 year intervals (Spatial Resolution of 100m and 1000m). The data report two functional use components: the total BU surface and the nonresidential (NRES) BU surface. The data is made by spatial-temporal interpolation of five observed collections of multiple-sensor, multiple-platform satellite images: Landsat (MSS, TM, ETM sensor) data supports the 1975, 1990, 2000, and 2014 epochs, while a Sentinel-2 (S2) image composite supports the 2018 epoch (Spatial resolution of 10m). The complete information about the GHSL main products can be found in the GHSL Data Package 2023 report (https://human-settlement.emergency.copernicus.eu/documents/GHSL_Data_Package_2023.pdf?t=1698413418). |
