BetaBetaDataset
To project the global extent of urban land.
An algorithm was developed and validated to downscale the 1/8-degree resolution data set to 1-km resolution. For a given decade, the downscaling algorithm allocates the 1/8-degree decadal amount of urban land expansion to 1-km grid cells in proportion to their total urban land amounts at the beginning of the decade.
This dataset entails urban land base year, urban land projected year, urban landscape, country name, urban area ID, total available land, urban area infrastructure, climate change effects, and population change.
