Built density
This dataset represents the built density of urban blocks within the territory of the Brussels-Capital Region. It provides four indicators: the floor space index (FSI), the ground space index (GSI), the average number of storeys, and the maximum building height.

- Statement
- The dataset was produced by combining multiple data sources, including field surveys from perspective.brussels used to determine the number of building levels, 2D building data from UrbIS – Parcels and Buildings (paradigm.brussels), and the UrbIS – 3D Buildings product (paradigm.brussels). These sources were integrated to obtain an accurate understanding of building geometry, including floor area, building footprint, number of levels, and maximum height, used for the calculation of built density indicators.
