Description
Geospatial building footprints for Poland, exported from OpenStreetMap by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team in March 2026, include attributes for height, materials, and addresses. The data covers all features where the building tag is present, providing localized naming in both Polish and English.
Use Cases
Urban density mapping using the 'building:levels' and 'building' type tags
Geocoding and address validation using 'addr:street' and 'addr:housenumber' fields
Construction material analysis for environmental studies using the 'building:materials' attribute
Strengths
Available in four geospatial formats including GEOJSON and GEOPACKAGE
Includes verticality data via the 'building:levels' tag
Provides localized naming in both Polish ('name:pl') and English ('name:en')
Limitations
Crowdsourced data may have inconsistent attribute density across different regions of Poland
Temporal staleness if specific buildings were demolished or constructed after the last OSM sync
