Built Up

Satellite-derived Land Use / Land Cover computation of built-up land in 2020. Geospatially derived built-up land cover refers to information about areas of land that have been developed for human use, such as cities, towns, and other urban areas. This information is obtained using geographic information systems (GIS) technology, which allows for the creation of detailed maps and spatial datasets that can provide information about the location, extent, and characteristics of built-up areas. These datasets are often used by researchers, governments, and organizations to monitor and manage urban growth and development, and to understand the impacts of changes in land use on the environment and local communities.
