The built-up land represents an important type of overall landscape. We analyse the structure of built-up land in largest cities in the Czech Republic and selected cities in the USA using the framework of statistical physics. To do this, both the variance of the built-up area and the number variance of built-up landed plots in circles are calculated. In both cases the variance as a function of a circle radius follows a power law. The obtained value of the exponents are comparable to exponents typical for critical systems. The study is based on cadastral data in the Czech Republic and building footprints GIS data in the USA.
