Making Sense of Global Urban Data
Making Sense of Global Urban Data
SDG: 11 - Sustainable Cities & Communities17 - Partnerships for the Goals
The Global Urban Extents work (GPSURR) utilizes Big Data (high-resolution earth satellite observation and built up area, population) to create a standardized map of global human settlements, based on a methodology developed by the OECD -- which identifies urban areas as a function of density and settlement size. This will allow the World Bank, its clients and others to monitor and compare urban areas. Given the larger agenda to collect and process this data, we identify the opportunity to enhance our understanding of sustainable and optimal urban form.
