GHSL World Urbanisation Prospects projected gridded built-up surface estimates (GHS-WUP-BUILT-S)

Description

Gridded datasets representing estimates of the distribution of built-up surface from 1975 to 2100 in 5-year time steps. The built-up surface estimates from 1975 to 2020 are obtained from the GHS-BUILT-S R2023 product, while the projected estimates from 2025 to 2100 are computed using the CRISP model, assuming a stable share of non-residential built-up surface while modelling the growth of the residential component of the total built-up surface.
