The Urban Atlas is part of the implementation of the Global Monitoring of Environment and Security (GMES) service. Compiled from thousands of satellite photographs, the Urban Atlas provides detailed and cost-effective digital mapping.The Urban Atlas will enable urban planners and the public to assess risks and opportunities, ranging from threat of flooding and impact of climate change, and to identifying new infrastructure needs. All cities in the EU will be covered by the Urban Atlas by 2011.This map will provide for the first time homogeneous and up-to-date information on urban environments, allowing for a comparison of different cities all across Europe.Data source: http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/urban-atlas

A UMZ is defined as a "set of urban areas laying less than 200 m apart". Urban areas have been selected from Corine Land Cover 2006, version 13, by means of a complex methodology explained below. Population figures year 2001 are based on Population Grid version 5.0 from JRC (Population density disaggregated with Corine land cover 2000)

Larger Urban Zone, Urban Audit 2004 (1M - 10M) (11)
When using this data set, it should be bibliographically referred to as 'Urban Audit, 2004'. The Urban Audit (UA) provides European urban statistics for a representative sample of large and medium-sized cities across 30 European countries. It enables an assessment of the state of individual EU cities and provides access to comparative information from other EU cities. This spatial dataset will support the study and dissemination of the UA data. It allows the visualisation of participating cities at three conceptual levels: - UA City - the core city, using an administrative definition - UA City Kernel - a concept introduced to improve comparability between large cities - Larger Urban Zone (LUZ) - approximating the functional urban region In addition, this spatial dataset allows visualisation of a 285 participating cities at two hierarchical sublevels to analyse the disparities within cities: - Sub City Districts level 1 (SCD L1) - Sub City Districts level 2 (SCD L2) The extent of this dataset is the EU-27 plus Croatia (HR), Norway (NO) and Switzerland (CH). The URAU_2004 dataset contains a polygonal feature class for UA Cities, UA City Kernels and Large Urban Zones, derived from the geometry of the GISCO COMM_2004 dataset (based on EuroBoundary Map 2004). Polygonal feature classes for Sub City Districts are derived from the geometry of the GISCO COMM_2004 dataset (based on EuroBoundary Map 2004) or spatial data supplied by URAU delegates which has been made coincident with UA City geometry. A generalised version of each feature class allows for visualisation at the scale of 1:3 Million. UA Cities are also represented by a point topology that are derived from and synchronised with the GISCO STTL_V3 dataset of European Settlements. The UA city points are, when possible, synchronised to an Urban Fabric class in Corine Land Cover 2000.
