Abstract
This raster layer contains the total area occupied by the built-up area of Baku, Azerbaijan and its urbanized open space in 2000. Categories of urban land use represented in these data include: urban, suburban, rural and urbanized open land. The built-up area of the city is the area occupied by built-up pixels within the set of administrative boundaries defining the city. The urbanized open space consists of all fringe open spaces (including exterior open spaces) and all captured open spaces. These data are part of the Atlas of Urban Expansion.
Purpose
The Atlas of Urban Expansion provides the geographic and quantitative dimensions of urban expansion and its key attributes in cities the world over. The data and images are available for free downloading, for scholars, public officials, planners, those engaged in international development, and concerned citizens. The global empirical evidence presented here is critical for an intelligent discussion of plans and policies to manage urban expansion everywhere. This resource provides both the conceptual framework and, for the first time, the basic empirical data and quantitative dimensions of past, present, and future urban expansion in cities around the world that are necessary for making minimal preparations for the massive urban growth expected in the coming decades.
Supplemental Information
The Atlas of Urban Expansion is also available as a printed book. The Atlas of Urban Expansion accompanies the Policy Focus Report Making Room for a Planet of Cities, a comprehensive and original analysis of the quantitative dimensions of past, present, and future global urban land cover, culminating in a proposed new paradigm for preparing for explosive growth in cities the world over. Further detail of that analysis is available in three working papers available for downloading: The Persistent Decline in Urban Densities, The Fragmentation of Urban Footprints, and A Planet of Cities: Country Estimates and Projections of Urban Land Cover, 2000-2050. A forthcoming book, titled The Expansion of Cities, bringing together the analysis of the maps in the Atlas of Urban Expansion within a broader discussion of urban expansion in a global and historical perspective, will be published by the Lincoln Institute in 2012.

Data Quality Information

Lineage
Statement
Land cover maps were derived from satellite imagery of 120 cities and metropolitan areas in two time periods, one circa 1990 and one circa 2000. In an earlier 2005 study, the Lincoln Institute identified a total of 3,945 large cities with populations of 100,000 or more that were home to a total of 2.12 billion people or three-quarters of the world's urban population in the year 2000. The global sample of 120 cities is a stratified sample from this universe (Angel et al. 2005, chapter 2). It includes cities from nine geographic regions, four population size classes, and four per capita income classes. For each city in this sample, the Lincoln Institute obtained two medium-resolution Landsat satellite images, one for each time period. These images were classified into built-up and non-built-up 30x30 meter pixels, using a thematic extraction algorithm. Using 10,000 Google Earth validation sites, Potere et al. (2009) later reported that pixels identified as built-up in our sample were found to be built-up in Google Earth 91 percent of the time and those identified in Google Earth as urban were identified in our sample 89 percent of the time, a relatively high level of accuracy.
