GHSL: Global building height 2018 (P2023A)
This spatial raster dataset depicts the global distribution of building heights at a resolution of 100 m, referred to the year 2018. The input data used to predict building heights are the ALOS Global Digital Surface Model (30 m), the NASA Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission … alos building built built-environment builtup copernicus -
GHSL: Global building volume 1975-2030 (P2023A)
This raster dataset depicts the global distribution of building volume, expressed in cubic metres per 100 m grid cell. The dataset measures the total building volume and the building volume allocated to grid cells of predominant non-residential (NRES) use. Estimates are based on the built-up … alos building built-environment copernicus dem ghsl -
GHSL: Global settlement characteristics (10 m) 2018 (P2023A)
