Abstract – This paper describes the development of a global georeferenced population database, including urban extents, aimed to quantify the spatial distribution of human population and the extent of urbanized land area. Project outputs include: i) database of human settlements of at least 5,000 persons (points), ii) urban extents (polygons) derived from satellite imagery and additional geographic data sources, and iii) urban-rural surface (grid) at a nominal resolution of 1 km
