GHSL - Built-up Volume - 1 km

This data represents the total built-up volume between 1975 and 2030 in 5 year intervals over cells of 1x1 km size.

It derives from the GHS-BUILT-V - R2023A spatial raster dataset, that depicts the distribution of built-up volumes, expressed as number of cubic metres. The data report about the total built-up volume and the built-up volume allocated to dominant non-residential (NRES) uses.

The dataset is part the Global Human Settlement Layer , Global, high-resolution, multi-temporal gridded data on built-up environment (built-up surface, built-up volume, residential vs. non-residential function), resident population, and settlement classification by the UN-recommended methodology “degree of urbanisation”.
