Dataset of 'Mapping 10-m Industrial Lands across 1000+ Global Large Cities, 2017-2023'

This dataset provides high-resolution (10 m) industrial land maps for 1,093 global cities from 2017 to 2023. 

The dataset includes:

10 m resolution industrial land maps for each year (GeoTIFF, Zip)

Detailed information for each city, including industrial land area per capita indicators (1093_city_information.xlsx)

Validation Package (Validation_Package.zip)

File Naming Convention

GeoTIFF files: Industrial_land_XXX_YYY_YEAR.tif

XXX: Country code

YYY: City ID

YEAR: Year of data

Example: Industrial_land_USA_634_2017.tif represents the industrial land map for Chicago, USA, in 2017.

Each TIF file has a 10 m spatial resolution with the GCS_WGS_1984 spatial projection. The maps include three classes:

Class 1: Industrial land in built-up areas

Class 2: Non-industrial land in built-up areas

Class 0: Non-built-up areas

City Information

A detailed summary of city-specific information, including the annual total industrial land area, is provided in 1093_city_information.xlsx. This file includes:

ID_HDC_G0: Unique city ID (Urban Centre)

CTR_MN_NM: Main country name

CTR_MN_ISO: ISO-3 country codes

UC_NM_MN: Main city (Urban Centre) name

UC_NM_LST: Full list of assigned city (Urban Centre) names

CLUSTER: Assigned cluster number in industrial land modeling

URB_ECOREGION: Assigned urban ecoregion

CLUSTER: Assigned cluster number in industrial land modeling

IND_YEAR: Total industrial land area for each year (in m²).
