Hi there!<\/p>\n
I am doing a research about urbanisation of our planet and rapid rural-to-urban migrations trends that are taking place in the last 50 years. I have encountered following dataset which would help me a lot, however I am unable to convert it to excel-ready format.<\/p>\n
I am talking about Global Urban Polygons & Points Dataset, Version 1 from NASA SEDAC data-verse. TLDR about it: The GUPPD is a global collection of named urban \u201cpolygons\u201d (and associated point records) that build upon the JRC\u2019s GHSL Urban Centre Database (UCDB). Unlike many other datasets, GUPPD explicitly distinguishes multiple levels of urban settlement (e.g. \u201curban centre,\u201d \u201cdense cluster,\u201d \u201csemi\u2011dense cluster\u201d). In its first version (v1), it includes 123 034 individual named urban settlements worldwide, each with a place name and population estimate for every five\u2011year interval from 1975 through 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n So what I would like to get is an excel ready dataset which would include all 123k urban settlements with their populations and other provided info at all available points of time (1975, 1980, 1985,…). On their dataset landing page <\/a>they have only .gdbtable, .spx, similar shape-files (urban polygons and points) and metadata (which are meant to be use with their geographical tool) but not a ready-made CSV file.<\/p>\n I have already reached out to them, however without any success so far. Would anybody have any idea how to do this conversion?<\/p>\n Many thanks in advance!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n submitted by \/u\/Important_Load2334 <\/a>
