GHS-FUA R2019A - GHS functional urban areas, derived from GHS-UCDB R2019A (2015)

Description

The spatial dataset delineates the boundaries of Functional Urban Areas (FUA) of Urban Centres in 2015. The automatic classification procedure developed in collaboration with the OECD estimates for each 1 sq km populated cells outside Urban Centres (obtained from GHS-POP R2019A) the probability of belonging to the commuting zone (or Area Of Influence, AOI) of the closest Urban Centre (GHS-UCDB R2019A). Cells estimated to be part of the AOI are combined and polygonized to form estimated FUA (eFUA) boundaries.
