Urban population density (persons per square kilometre), 2000 (high resolution layer) (FGGD)

The FGGD high-resolution urban population density 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 the number of persons per square kilometre. All remaining pixels contain no data. 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.
