AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
The Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) datasets provide information on global human settlements, including building heights, built-up surfaces, and settlement characteristics.
-
These datasets offer various resolutions (10m, 100m) and temporal coverage (including historical and projected data).
-
Built-up surface data measures total built-up area and the proportion allocated to residential and non-residential uses.
-
Building height data is derived from ALOS and SRTM elevation data and is available at 100m resolution.
-
The GHSL datasets are part of the Copernicus program and are valuable for urban planning, environmental monitoring, and disaster risk assessment.

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 built-up surface 10m (P2023A)
This raster dataset depicts the distribution of built-up surfaces, expressed in square metres per 10 m grid cell, for 2018 as observed from the S2 image data. The datasets measure: a) the total built-up surface, and b) the built-up surface allocated to grid cells of … built built-environment builtup copernicus ghsl jrc -
GHSL: Global built-up surface 1975-2030 (P2023A)
This raster dataset depicts the distribution of built-up surfaces, expressed in square metres per 100 m grid cell. The dataset measures: a) the total built-up surface, and b) the built-up surface allocated to grid cells of predominant non-residential (NRES) use. Data are spatially-temporally interpolated or … built built-environment builtup copernicus ghsl jrc -
GHSL: Global settlement characteristics (10 m) 2018 (P2023A)
This spatial raster dataset delineates human settlements at 10 m resolution, and describes their inner characteristics in terms of the functional and height-related components of the built environment. More information about the GHSL data products can be found in the GHSL Data Package 2023 report … building built builtup copernicus ghsl height
