Figure Urban sprawl for six European cities Urban sprawl at 1-km2 scale in 2009 (WUPp) in six examples of zoom-ins: (a) from the coast of Spain (Barcelona), (b) Paris, (c) from the Benelux countries, (d) Dublin (e), Helsinki, and (f) Warsaw.
Figure Residuals for Weighted Urban Proliferation (WUP) at the country level Differences between observed and fitted (predicted) values from the ridge regression model for Weighted Urban Proliferation (WUP) in absolute terms and percentages for the year 2009 at the country level.
Figure Overlay of the Natura 2000 network with the urban sprawl results, Poland Overlay of the Natura 2000 network with the urban sprawl results (WUP values of 2009) for the 1-km2 LEAC grid, showing Poland as an example. In some parts of the country, the areas of urban sprawl are very close to the Natura 2000 areas. The Natura 2000 are much smaller in regions with higher level of urban sprawl. (Sources: EEA (2015b) for Natura 2000; this report for map of WUP values.)
Figure Urban sprawl per NUTS-2 regions Maps of urban sprawl per NUTS‑2 region for weighted urban proliferation (WUP), dispersion of the built-up areas (DIS), land uptake per person (LUP) and percentage of built‑up area (PBA)
Figure Changes in DIS in London between 2006 and 2009 Map of changes in DIS in London between 2006 and 2009 at the 1-km2 grid scale.
Figure Changes in WUPp between 2006 and 2009 Maps of changes in WUP at the 1-km2 grid scale 2006 - 2009 for three zoom-ins: Portugal (a), Ireland (b), Prague (c), London (d).
Figure Examples from the land cover data layers CLC, the HRL IMD data set and Urban Atlas Examples from the land cover data layers CORINE Land Cover (CLC), HRL Imperviousness Degree dataset and Urban Atlas (Brandys nad Labem-Stará Boleslav in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic, located northeast of Prague
Figure Urban sprawl in Europe Urban sprawl in Europe at 1-km2 scale in 2009 (WUPp).
Figure Changes in WUP in Europe between 2006 and 2009 Changes in WUP at the scale of the 1-km2 grid between 2006 and 2009
Figure Residuals for Weighted Urban Proliferation (WUP) at NUTS‑2 region level Differences between observed and fitted (predicted) values from the ridge regression model for Weighted Urban Proliferation (WUP) in absolute terms and percentages for the year 2009 at the NUTS-2 regional level.
Figure An example of a densification plan from the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland Densification plan from the Canton of Zurich
Figure Urban sprawl per country The maps shows urban sprawl per country for the four metrics WUP (Weighted Urban Proliferation), Urban Permeation (UP), Dispersion (DIS), and Land Uptake per Person (LUP) at the country level for Europe in the year 2009.
Figure Changes in WUP values at the NUTS‑2 region level between 2006 and 2009 Maps of absolute and relative changes in the values of WUP in the NUTS-2 regions between 2006 and 2009.
Figure Urban sprawl in London Urban sprawl in London at the 1-km2 scale in 2009 for: Weighted urban proliferation (WUPp), Percentage of build-up area (PBA), Dispersion (DIS) of the built-up areas and Land-uptake per person (LUP)
