Urban boundary data used in the article titled: "Global Consistency of Urban Scaling Evidenced by Remote Sensing"https://doi.org/10.1093/pnasnexus/pgaf0371. boundary2020_61countries.rarUrban boundary vector data for 61 countries in 2020, used for urban scaling analysis of built-up areas and nighttime lights in the same year. The dataset includes attributes such as built-up area (UBA), total population (POP), and total nighttime light brightness (NTL) for each urban unit (boundary).2. boundary2000_2020_26countries.rarUrban boundary vector data for 26 countries spanning 2000 to 2020, used for a 20-year temporal scaling analysis of UBA and NTL. The dataset includes attributes such as built-up area (UBA), total population (POP), and total nighttime light brightness (NTL) for each urban unit (boundary).
