Environmental issue report No 30

Cover Image

The goal of this report is to disseminate the first results of a research project dedicated to measuring and assessing urban dynamics through the creation of land use databases for 25 cities and urban areas within Europe. A joint publication of the European Environment Agency and the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, the report describes the work developed by the MURBANDY/MOLAND project (Monitoring Urban Dynamics/Monitoring Land Use Changes), with the aim of proposing a methodology for strategic monitoring of the impact of urban development on the environment.

Green tips: Create a small ecosystem
in your garden or park by piling up some logs in a secluded corner. These will provide shelter for hedgehogs, frogs and toads. If you half-bury the bottom logs in the soil, you will also encourage stag beetles as they are fond of rotten wood. A pile of stones will also provide shelter to a range of insects and spiders.
