GHS-WUP-BUILT-S R2025A – GHS-WUP built-up surface spatial raster dataset, derived from GHS-BUILT-S (R2023) and projected using the CRISP model, multitemporal (1975-2100)

Collection: GHSL : Global Human Settlement Layer 

Description

This product contains the spatial raster dataset grids representing the distribution of the total built-up (BU) surfaces estimates between 1975 and 2100 in 5 years intervals. The data between 1975 and 2020 is obtained from the GHS-BUILT-S R2023 product and the 2025-2100 total built-up surface projections are computed considering a stable non-residential built-up surface and modelling the growth of the residential component of the total built-up surface.
