Global 1-km Downscaled Urban Land Fraction Grids, SSP-Consistent Projections and Base Year, v1 (2000 - 2100)

Global time-series maps of the fraction of urban land to all land area at 1-km spatial resolution, including the base year (2000), projections (2010-2100) consistent with the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), and two ancillary layers: (i) total land area, and (ii) the fraction of land available for development to all land area. Downloadable in two data formats: GeoTIFF, and NetCDF. Data Unit: dimensionless for urban and available land fractions; km2 for total land areas. Cite as... Gao, J., & Pesaresi, M. (2021).
