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...

Historical (observations) data and projections (modelled) of total population per metro region. Historical regional data were extracted from EUROSTAT's online database and missing data were calculated in order to complete the historical series. Projection dat...

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.

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...

The indicator Water consumption is the result of the water use model which allocates sectorial statistical data on freshwater consumption. The level of detail of this indicator is per NUTS0 and NUTS2. Additional publications: 1. Sarah Mubareka, Joachim Maes...

The share of industrial-commercial-services areas over the total land area indicator aims to assess the proportion of land used for economic activities over the total surface area. The level of detail of this indicator is per NUTS0 and NUTS2.

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).

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 ...

The indicator presented here measures the share of Green Infrastructure at different regional levels (in %). Green Infrastructure (GI) is defined as a strategically planned and delivered network of high quality green spaces and other environmental features (EC...

Daily accessibility indicates the amount of people that live within four hours of driving from the location at hand.The level of detail of this indicator is per NUTS0 and NUTS2. Additional publications: 1. Jacobs-Crisioni C, Batista e Silva F, Lavalle C, et...

The LUISA Base Map 2012 is a high-resolution land use/land cover map developed and produced by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. It corresponds to a modified and improved version of the CORINE Land Cover 2012 map. Compared to CORINE, the L...

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...

Built-up areas measures the total built-up area as a share of the total surface area of land in the country expressed in percentage. The indicator presents data for the year 2010, 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2050 at NUTSx for all EU 28 Member States.

The Corine Land Cover 2006 - refined version (CLC06r) corresponds to a modified and improved version of the original CORINE Land Cover 2006 (CLC06) map (version 15). The CLC06r has an improved mimimum mapping unit of 1 hectare for all types of artificial surfa...

Removal by urban vegetation was calculated as the product of deposition velocity and NO2 concentration. Air pollutant deposition velocity was assessed following the approach proposed by Pistocchi et al. (2010) that estimates deposition velocity (DV) as a linea...

The indicator is defined as the amount of biomass produced from dedicated energy crops over the total surface area. The unit of measurement is thousands of tons per hectare.

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...

Projected land-use/cover maps, 2010 - 2050.

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 ...
