Satellite mapping of every building’s function in urban China reveals deep built environment disparities
We introduce a national building functional map that delineates 110 million buildings across 109 major Chinese cities using 1-m multi-modal satellite data, and use nine indicators to quantify built-environment inequality across city tiers, regions, and within-city zones.
