Supplementary datasets used for calculating spatial pattern indicators as presented in research discussed in a paper provisionally entitled “Settlement and infrastructure patterns influence energy use and CO2 emissions almost as much as economic activity”. This repository contains spatially explicit data on (1) built-up patches and urban agglomerations (BL), (2) main infrastructure features (road and railway, R and RW) and (3) a reference inhabited land area (IH).
