Description
Intermediate data used to support the R2023A production ond QC
release. This product include the Landsat image quantity for the multitemporal GHS-BUILT R2023 production; and the UN World Urbanization Prospect 2018 city boundaries estimates for the GHS-POP R2023 multitemporal production.

Data access
Landsat data supporting the multi-temporal processing. The data is published at 100m resolution in World Mollweide (EPSG:54009). The compressed ZIP file contain TIF files and short documentation.
City boundaries of the UN World Urbanization Prospects 2018 city database (extended unpublished
dataset). Boundaries are automatically estimated by iterative
aggregation of administrative units adjacent to the main unit (determined by WUP city coordinates), using density and compactness criteria to reach the WUP city population data in the available census year

Abstract
The Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) produces new global spatial information, evidence-based analytics and knowledge describing the human presence on planet Earth. It operates in a fully open and free data and methods access policy. The knowledge generated with the GHSL is supporting the definition, the public discussion and the implementation of European policies and the monitoring of international frameworks such as the 2030 Development Agenda. The GHSL are the core data set of the Exposure Mapping Component under the Copernicus Emergency Management Service. GHSL data continue to support the GEO Human Planet Initiative (HPI) that is committed to developing a new generation of measurements and information products providing new scientific evidence and a comprehensive understanding of the human presence on the planet and that can support global policy processes with agreed, actionable and goal-driven metrics. The Human Planet Initiative relies on a core set of partners committed in coordinating the production of the global settlement spatial baseline data. This document describes the public release of the GHSL Data Package 2023 (GHS P2023). The release provides improved built-up (including surface, volume and height) and population products as well as a new settlement model and classification of administrative and territorial units according to the Degree of Urbanisation.
