UrbIS - Land cover

The UrbIS - Land cover product corresponds to the dataset of physical and biological surfaces in the Brussels Region. This dataset is composed of four geometric classes. The first class corresponds to bridges. The second corresponds to tunnels, the third corresponds to street surfaces (some objects located in Flanders have been integrated for visual continuity), and the fourth corresponds to blocks including forests, parks, and bodies of water.

The dataset is freely downloadable as a zipped file and via the ad hoc WFS.
