Abstract: To improve the understanding of current trends in global urbanisation, we have launched the World Settlement Footprint (WSF) suite, a collection of novel datasets aimed at providing accurate, reliable and frequent information on the location and extent of human settlements, as well as on their morphology and built-up density. In this paper, we present three of its products (i.e., the WSF-Evolution, WSF2019 and WSF3D), which are expected to become an asset for national statistical offices, local authorities, academia, civil society, private sector, geospatial information community, as well as international organisations involved in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goal 11 of the United Nations and the New Urban Agenda. Keywords: global urbanisation, settlement extent, settlement growth, building height, world settlement footprint Published Online: 2021/06/29 09:25:55 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5576 0x003c9b4c Rights:https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/
GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.
