2% of Earths land is used for housing. https://www.quora.com/What-percentage-of-Earths-land-is-used-for-infrastructure-like-roads-buildings-all-pavement-etc?awc=15748_1574977211_8513dcd73abe0057177bef6bfa3de201&uiv=6&txtv=8&source=awin&medium=ad&campaign=uad_mkt_en_acq_us_awin&set=awin&pub_id=271453 GRUMP's latest estimates indicate that ~3% of global land surface area is covered by urban areas. As 29.2% of the planet's surface area is covered by land, this means that 3% x 29.2% = 0.9% of the total planetary surface area (incl. oceans) is covered by urban areas. Note that this estimate is >50% higher than previous estimates which showed only 1-2% of continental surface area being covered by urban areas.
