The P-CAT tool will draw on existing global and local datasets such as the JRC’s Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL). The results will be ground-truthed in two case studies in Chennai, India and Greater Manchester, UK.

Visualise spatial data for the PERI-CENE 21 partner cities in the P-CAT City Visualisers
Contribute with geospatial data for each of the PERI-CENE 21 partner cities in the P-CAT City Surveys
