Description

This raster dataset depicts the global distribution of building volume, expressed in cubic metres per 100 m grid cell. The dataset measures the total building volume and the building volume allocated to grid cells of predominant non-residential (NRES) use. Estimates are based on the built-up surface and building height products.

More information about the GHSL data products can be found in the GHSL Data Package 2023 report

The Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) project is supported by the European Commission, Joint Research Centre, and Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy.
