Global map of Local Climate Zones, latest version
Since their introduction in 2012, Local Climate Zones (LCZs) emerged as a new standard for characterizing urban landscapes, providing a holistic classification approach that takes into account micro-scale land-cover and associated physical properties. This global map of Local Climate Zones, at 100m pixel size and representative for the nominal year 2018, is derived from multiple earth observation datasets and expert LCZ class labels. LCZ_Filter is the recommended band for most users. The other c
