Description
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 surface) [https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/JRC_GHSL_P2023A_GHS_BUILT_S] and (building height) [https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/JRC_GHSL_P2023A_GHS_BUILT_H] products.
More information about the GHSL data products can be found in the GHSL Data Package 2023 report
The Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) project is supported by the European Commission, Joint Research Centre, and Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy.
