Abstract

Description
This dataset contains all input data required to replicate the analysis workflow of the URGED (URban mitigation and adaptation strategies Gauging through Empirical functions and Data products) project. The data supports a comprehensive analysis of urban green space (UGS) impacts on heat mitigation across 357 cities globally.

Contents
The repository includes:

Urban Green Space (UGS) data: Point-level Green View Index (GVI) measurements from street-view imagery (2011-2016) for 357 cities worldwide
Local Climate Zone (LCZ) classifications: Urban form typologies (compact, open, lightweight, etc.) at spatial resolution
Climate data: Temperature, humidity, and thermal comfort metrics from URBCLIM and other sources
Geographic data: City boundaries, administrative regions, and coordinate systems from Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL)
Köppen-Geiger climate classifications: Climate zone assignments for all analyzed cities
Land Surface Temperature (LST): Satellite-derived temperature measurements
Population data: Spatially-explicit population distributions by city and urban form
Scope
Spatial coverage: 357 cities globally across all continents (except Antarctica)
Climate zones: Tropical (A), Dry (B), Temperate (C), and Continental (D) Köppen-Geiger zones
Temporal coverage: Primary UGS data from 2011-2016; climate projections extend to 2100
Resolution: Point-level UGS data; gridded climate data at various resolutions
