Global fractional urban changes at 1km under diverse SSP-RCP scenarios throughout 2100

We developed a gridded global proportional urban extent dataset (2015-2100, 5-year interval) at 1km spatial resolution under various future development pathways. Unlike the commonly used binary (0-non-urban, 1-urban) urban products, this dataset provides the fractional information (i.e., ISA from 0 to 1) within each 1km pixel. Here, each .zip file represents one of eight scenarios, containing 17 GEOTIFF files (2015-2100, 5-year interval), which can be opened by ArcMap or QGIS. The developed global spatially explicit map of urban development suitability is available in GEOTIFF format. The annual historic global ISA maps are also available in GEOTIFF format (1985-2015).
