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...

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...

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 ...

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 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.

Annual rate of change in 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 u...

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.

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...

The indicator measures the total number of people exposed to an annual mean concentrations of NO2 superior to 40 micro gram/m3 of air (unit:persons). NO2 is one of the main pollutants emitted by road vehicles, shipping, power generation industry and households...

The EU urban population exposed to PM10 concentrations exceeding the daily limit value on more than 35 days in a year measures the percentage of population in urban areas exposed to PM10 concentrations exceeding the daily limit value (50 µg/m3) established by ...

Removal capacity is calculated as the product of dry deposition velocity and pollutant concentration (Wesely and Hicks, 2000), derived on the context of the LUISA modelling platform.

Network efficiency is an index that indicates the distance between the connectivity offered by an existing, planned or modelled transport network and the connectivity offered by an ideal network. A network efficiency value of 1 indicates that the network conne...

The share of residential areas over the total land area indicator aims to assess the proportion of land used for residential, sport and leisure purposes and green urban areas over the total surface area. The level of detail of this indicator is per NUTS0 and N...

The industrial/commercial/services (ICS) economic output per unit of ICS area- is the ratio of the Gross Value Added (GVA) of the industrial, commercial and services sectors by the industrial, commercial and services land use, and it is expressed as million EU...

This indicator is calculated by dividing the projected population in a region by the region total area. The level of spatial detail of this indicator is per NUTS0 and NUTS2.
