Overview
Title
Urban population distribution (persons per pixel), 2000 (high resolution layer) (FGGD)
Abstract
The FGGD high-resolution urban population distribution map is a global raster datalayer with a resolution of 30 arc-seconds. Each pixel classified as urban by the urban area boundaries map contains a numeric count of persons in the land area represented by the pixel. All remaining pixels contain a negative value. The method used by FAO to generate this datalayer is described in FAO, 2006, Mapping global urban and rural population distributions, by M. Salvatore, et. al.
Purpose
The FGGD Digital Atlas consists of more than 100 global database that allows to analyse food insecurity and poverty in relation to the environment.
