Urban morphology dataset of Reunion Island based on the local climate zone classification using satellite imagery and GIS data

Résumé

This dataset provides a high-resolution spatial classification of urban morphology on Reunion Island, France, using a 100 m x 100 m grid based on the Local Climate Zone (LCZ) framework. The data were generated through a combination of satellite imagery analysis using the World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (WUDAPT) method and Geographic Information System (GIS) data integration. The classification was refined using building height and surface fraction data from the BD TOPO 2018 database, improving the accuracy of urban form representation. The dataset is provided in shapefile format, facilitating its use in GIS software by urban planners, researchers, and policymakers. Each grid point contains geospatial and morphological attributes, including LCZ classification, average building height (m), and built surface fraction (%). These parameters allow researchers to spatially correlate urban morphology with observed temperature data, supporting targeted urban heat island (UHI) studies. The most compact LCZ types. This allowed for progressive improvement in classification accuracy by increasing the representativity of the training data.
