Dataset
To map out the extent and change over time of built-up areas.
Built-up is defined as the presence of buildings (roofed structures). This definition largely excludes other parts of urban environments and the human footprint such as paved surfaces (roads, parking lots), commercial and industrial sites (ports, landfills, quarries, runways) and urban green spaces (parks, gardens).
This dataset entails country name, sub national region, area built-up before, built-up per capita, built-up since 1990, built-up since 2000, land area and built-up since 1975.
