Urban population proportion. Proportion of the population living in Local Administrative Units - 2 (LAU2s) classified as cities, towns and suburbs. Classification of LAU2s as cities, towns and suburbs is based on the LUISA degree of urbanization projections. T...

A composite indicator reflecting the relative flood risk within urban areas by taking into account the natural exposure (predicted flooded area and mean depth), and the sensitivity of the city to flooding (population and infrastructure affected).

Annual rate of change in urban population proportion (proportion of the population living in Local Administrative Units - 2 classified as cities, towns and suburbs. The classification of LAU2s as cities, towns and suburbs is based on the LUISA degree of urban...

This indicator measures the total number of people exposed to an annual mean concentrations of PM10 exceeding 30 microgram /m3 of air. PM10 is one of the main pollutants emitted by household and (to a lower extent) commercial and institutional fuel combustion,...

Population weighted density refers to a metric which measures the density at which the average citizen lives. It is calculated by taking weighted average of the density of all parcels of land that make up a city, with each parcel weighted by its population (us...

This indicator sums up populations (total number of inhabitants) issued from LUISA model runs at a specified administrative level.

This indicator estimates the capacity of urban ecosystems to provide recreational opportunities. These include a wide variety of practices ranging from walking, jogging or running in the closest green urban area.

Urban population proportion. Proportion of the population living in Local Administrative Units - 2 (LAU2s) classified as cities, towns and suburbs. Classification of LAU2s as cities, towns and suburbs is based on the LUISA degree of urbanization projections. T...

The indicator first identifies the minimum number of public transport stops that could serve 80% of a city’s total population, and second computes the average distance between the identified stops. It finally normalizes the multiplication of these two values w...

Share of the land classified as urban, industrial and commercial and urban green leisure. The indicator represents a percentage (%) of residential, industrial and commercial areas over total area.

To simulate NO2 and PM10 at very high resolution (100 m), a Land Use Regression model (LUR) was built using pollutant concentrations for 2010 from monitoring sites as dependent variable and several other parameters (independent variables) were defined within a...

Potential accessibility computed as, for each origin point, the sum of people at destinations divided by a transformation of travel time to those destinations. The transformation of travel times is through a general distance decay function.

Removal by urban vegetation was calculated as the product of deposition velocity and PM10 concentration in areas covered by vegetation. Air pollutant deposition velocity was assessed following the approach proposed by Pistocchi et al. (2010) that estimates dep...

A functional urban area consists of a city plus its commuting zone. This was formerly known as LUZ (larger urban zone). The source for the boundaries is: EuroGeographics Association for the administrative boundaries and DG REGIO.

Modelled average travel distances in 2010 and 2050 according to LUISA projections and a spatial interaction model. The results are based on a number of simulation-specific assumptions but are instrumental in informing on the relative potential for sustainable ...

This indicator cover the land classified as urban, industrial and commercial and urban green leisure. It provides data on residential, industrial and commercial areas per inhabitant in square meters for a specific year.

Population weighted density refers to a metric which measures the density at which the average citizen lives. It is calculated by taking weighted average of the density of all parcels of land that make up a city, with each parcel weighted by its population (us...

Build-up areas cover the land classified as urban, industrial and abandoned urban and industrial. Land take means the total land taken by built-up areas, in other words the amount of change in built-up areas, within a specific period. In this indicator, first ...

This indicator measures the annual mean concentrations of NO2 (µg/m3). NO2 is one of the main pollutants emitted by road vehicles, shipping, power generation industry and households. Because of its high impact on human health, the EU Air Quality Directive (200...
