Degree of mean soil sealing per city — share of cities per class per country

The diagram shows the proportion of cities per country that falls in a particular class regarding the degree of average soil sealing.

Urban flooding — impervious surfaces reduce the drainage of rain water and increase the risk for urban flooding

The map shows the average soil sealing degree inside the UMZ of European core cities (core city defined in Urban Atlas / Urban Audit). Soil sealing degrees are represented in coloured dots. The city dots are overlaid onto a modelled map displaying the change in annual number of days with heavy rainfall between the reference periods 1961-1990 and 2071-2100.

Percentage of the urban area that would be flooded — share of cities per class per country

The diagram shows the proportion of cities per country that fall in a particular class regarding the percentage of potentially flooded area.

Percentage of the city that would be flooded in case rivers rise one metre

Percentage of the city that would be flooded in case water in rivers rises 1 m (only cities > 100 000 hab). The city is defined by its biophysical delineation (Urban Morphological Zone) inside the core city boundaries (Urban Audit). The background shows the relative change in 100-year return level of river discharge. Neither coastal floods nor flood protection measures are considered in the calculations.

Heat waves — both a low share of green and blue urban areas and high population densities can contribute to the urban heat island effect in cities

The cities are displayed as dots of different colours and sizes. The colours represent the share of green and blue urban areas inside the Urban Morphological Zone of the city, the size of the dots reflects the population density within the core cities’ UMZ. The background map is the result of climatic modelling and represents the number of combined tropical nights (T>20°C) and hot days (T>35°C) for the period 2071 to 2100.
