Data details

Name GHS Functional Urban Areas
Note The GHS-FUA delineates the spatial entities representing the commuting area of the Urban Centres of 2015. The Functional Urban Areas for the epoch 2015 are estimated through an automated classification procedure developed in collaboration with the OECD, based on objective characteristics (i.e. travel time to the Urban Centres, area of the Urban Centres, local population and country GDP per capita). 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).
