Short summary
We introduce GlobalBuildingAtlas, a publicly available dataset offering global and complete coverage of building polygons (GBA.Polygon), heights (GBA.Height) and Level of Detail 1 3D models (GBA.LoD1). This is the first open dataset to offer high quality, consistent, and complete building data in 2D and 3D at the individual building level on a global scale. With more than 2.75 billion buildings worldwide, it surpasses the most comprehensive database to date by more than 1 billion buildings.
