WorldPop visited the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), meeting with the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL), Demography, and Urban & Territorial Analysis teams.

We explored opportunities to improve comparability, reduce duplication, and strengthen harmonised global population and settlement data.

Looking forward to continued collaboration.

For those interested in such things, the urban* population in "Europe" between 500k and 15M. Text and circle diameter as a function of population. Using EC Global Human Settlement Layer (#GHSL) data here https://ghsl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/

The definition of Europe is a bit fuzzy but is approximately bounded by the Ural mountains to the East

All caps text > 5M population

A cool resource with an definition of urban that I'd steal
