Contains data from the World Bank's data portal. There is also a consolidated country dataset on HDX. Cities can be tremendously efficient. It is easier to provide water and sanitation to people living closer together, while access to health, education, and other social and cultural services is also much more readily available. However, as cities grow, the cost of meeting basic needs increases, as does the strain on the environment and natural resources. Data on urbanization, traffic and congestion, and air pollution are from the United Nations Population Division, World Health Organization, International Road Federation, World Resources Institute, and other sources.

Contains data from the World Bank's data portal. There is also a consolidated country dataset on HDX. Data here cover child labor, gender issues, refugees, and asylum seekers. Children in many countries work long hours, often combining studying with work for pay. The data on their paid work are from household surveys conducted by the International Labour Organization (ILO), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the World Bank, and national statistical offices. Gender disparities are measured using a compilation of data on key topics such as education, health, labor force participation, and political participation. Data on refugees are from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees complemented by statistics on Palestinian refugees under the mandate of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.

The world economy needs ever-increasing amounts of energy to sustain economic growth, raise living standards, and reduce poverty. But today's trends in energy use are not sustainable. As the world's population grows and economies become more industrialized, nonrenewable energy sources will become scarcer and more costly. Data here on energy production, use, dependency, and efficiency are compiled by the World Bank from the International Energy Agency and the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center.

Contains data from the World Bank's data portal. There is also a consolidated country dataset on HDX. For the 70 percent of the world's poor who live in rural areas, agriculture is the main source of income and employment. But depletion and degradation of land and water pose serious challenges to producing enough food and other agricultural products to sustain livelihoods here and meet the needs of urban populations. Data presented here include measures of agricultural inputs, outputs, and productivity compiled by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization.

The aim of the Human Development Report is to stimulate global, regional and national policy-relevant discussions on issues pertinent to human development. Accordingly, the data in the Report require the highest standards of data quality, consistency, international comparability and transparency. The Human Development Report Office (HDRO) fully subscribes to the Principles governing international statistical activities. The HDI was created to emphasize that people and their capabilities should be the ultimate criteria for assessing the development of a country, not economic growth alone. The HDI can also be used to question national policy choices, asking how two countries with the same level of GNI per capita can end up with different human development outcomes. These contrasts can stimulate debate about government policy priorities. The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and have a decent standard of living. The HDI is the geometric mean of normalized indices for each of the three dimensions. The 2019 Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) data shed light on the number of people experiencing poverty at regional, national and subnational levels, and reveal inequalities across countries and among the poor themselves.Jointly developed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) at the University of Oxford, the 2019 global MPI offers data for 101 countries, covering 76 percent of the global population. The MPI provides a comprehensive and in-depth picture of global poverty – in all its dimensions – and monitors progress towards Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 1 – to end poverty in all its forms. It also provides policymakers with the data to respond to the call of Target 1.2, which is to ‘reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women, and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definition'.

This dataset provides detailed information on road surfaces from OpenStreetMap (OSM) data, distinguishing between **paved** and **unpaved** surfaces across the region. This information is based on road surface prediction derived from hybrid deep learning approach. For more information on Methods, refer to the [paper](http://arxiv.org/abs/2410.19874) Roughly 0.0517 million km of roads are mapped in OSM in this region. Based on AI-mapped estimates the share of paved and unpaved roads is approximately 0.0099 and 0.002 (in million kms), corressponding to 19.1793% and 3.8679% respectively of the total road length in the dataset region. 0.0398 million km or 76.9528% of road surface information is missing in OSM. In order to fill this gap, Mapillary derived road surface dataset provides an additional 0.0001 million km of information (corressponding to 0.2769% of total missing information on road surface) It is intended for use in transportation planning, infrastructure analysis, climate emissions and geographic information system (GIS) applications. This dataset provides comprehensive information on road and urban area features, including location, surface quality, and classification metadata. This dataset includes attributes from OpenStreetMap (OSM) data, AI predictions for road surface, and urban classifications. AI features: pred_class: Model-predicted class for the road surface, with values "paved" or "unpaved." pred_label: Binary label associated with pred_class (0 = paved, 1 = unpaved). osm_surface_class: Classification of the surface type from OSM, categorized as "paved" or "unpaved." combined_surface_osm_priority: Surface classification combining pred_label and surface(OSM) while prioritizing the OSM surface tag, classified as "paved" or "unpaved." combined_surface_DL_priority: Surface classification combining pred_label and surface(OSM) while prioritizing DL prediction pred_label, classified as "paved" or "unpaved." n_of_predictions_used: Number of predictions used for the feature length estimation. predicted_length: Predicted length based on the DL model’s estimations, in meters. DL_mean_timestamp: Mean timestamp of the predictions used, for comparison. OSM features may have these attributes(Learn what tags mean here): name: Name of the feature, if available in OSM. name:en: Name of the feature in English, if available in OSM. name:* (in local language): Name of the feature in the local official language, where available. highway: Road classification based on OSM tags (e.g., residential, motorway, footway). surface: Description of the surface material of the road (e.g., asphalt, gravel, dirt). smoothness: Assessment of surface smoothness (e.g., excellent, good, intermediate, bad). width: Width of the road, where available. lanes: Number of lanes on the road. oneway: Indicates if the road is one-way (yes or no). bridge: Specifies if the feature is a bridge (yes or no). layer: Indicates the layer of the feature in cases where multiple features are stacked (e.g., bridges, tunnels). source: Source of the data, indicating the origin or authority of specific attributes. Urban classification features may have these attributes: continent: The continent where the data point is located (e.g., Europe, Asia). country_iso_a2: The ISO Alpha-2 code representing the country (e.g., "US" for the United States). urban: Binary indicator for urban areas based on the GHSU Urban Layer 2019. (0 = rural, 1 = urban) urban_area: Name of the urban area or city where the data point is located. osm_id: Unique identifier assigned by OpenStreetMap (OSM) to each feature. osm_type: Type of OSM element (e.g., node, way, relation). The data originates from OpenStreetMap (OSM) and is augmented with model predictions using images downloaded from Mapillary in combination with the GHSU Global Human Settlement Urban Layer 2019 and AFRICAPOLIS2020 urban layer. This dataset is one of many HeiGIT exports on HDX. See the HeiGIT website for more information. We are looking forward to hearing about your use-case!
