GHS-OBAT R2024A - GHS Building Attributes at footprint level, with age, function and morphological information (2020)

Collection: GHSL : Global Human Settlement Layer 

Description

The dataset consists of a table, with building footprint features as rows and attributes as columns, split by country and administrative areas available in the Global ADMinistrative layer version 4.1 (GADM4.1). The attributes include unique identifiers to link to Overture buildings 2024-07-22.0, their centroid coordinates, country and administrative unit location, and building characteristics such as height, shape factor (compactness), functional use, construction year, area, and perimeter. These characteristics are derived from the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) global datasets GHS R2023 and R2024. The dataset is available both as CSV and as SQLite-based geopackages, which incorporate the centroids of building footprints as geometry features.
