Geoscape is a new initiative from PSMA that captures the observed built environment and anchors it in a reliable geospatial base. The dataset includes 3D building attributes, land cover, tree heights, and elevation.
2. The Built Environment
“The human-made space in which
people live, work, and recreate on
a day-to-day basis. The built
environment encompasses places
and spaces created or modified
by people including buildings,
parks, and transportation
systems.”1
