Methodology:

Procedural steps 1. Reclassification of Corine Land Cover (CLC2000) for UMZ2000. CLC is reclassified according to the classes described above. 2. Ports, airports, sport facilities, roads, railways, rivers and forest and scrub classes fully within the urban area were added to the classes. 3. The UMZ's were built up using a expansion/shrinking method. 4. The population numbers were calculated on basis of JRC's 2001 Population grid. Finally the population numbers and attributes (Commune codes) were assigned to the UMZ's For more detail please refer to the methodology pdf above

Additional information

The land cover classes are: 111 Continuous urban fabric 112 Discontinuous urban fabric 121 Industrial or commercial units 141 Green urban areas 123 (Port areas), 124 (Airports) and 142 (Sport and leisure facilities), are also considered if they are neighbours to the core classes or to one of them touching the core classes: Enlarged core classes 122 (Road and rail networks) and 511 (Water courses), when neighbours to the enlarged core classes, cut by 300m buffer Forest & scrub (311,312,313,322,323,324), when they are completely within the core classes
