GHS Urban Centre Database |
| Note |
The GHS-UCDB describes spatial entities called “urban centres” according to a set of multitemporal thematic attributes gathered from the GHSL sources integrated with other sources available in the open scientific domain. The Urban Centres are defined by specific cut-off values on resident population and built-up surface share in a 1x1 km uniform global grid.
The input data is generated by the GHSL, and the operating parameters are set in the frame of the “degree of urbanisation” (DEGURBA) methodology.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). |
