2020 Raster Grids on Land Utilization

The Land Utilization in Hong Kong (LUHK) is a broad-brush presentation of distribution of land uses in Hong Kong, prepared using a combination of various geo-informatics, including satellite images dated December 2020 (©AIRBUS DS 2020), in-house survey information of the Planning Department up to end-2020 and other relevant information from various government departments. The LUHK raster grids have a spatial resolution of 10m. The area of land uses are approximated to the nearest square km. The data is not designed or intended for detailed analysis or calculation purposes. As definitions of some land use classes and methodology are updated from time to time, the figures this year may not be comparable directly to those provided in previous years.

The datasets are available for download in API.
