Methodology:
Procedural steps
1. Reclassification of Corine Land Cover (CLC2006) for UMZ2006. 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 provided methodology documentation.

Additional information
An Urban Morphological Zone can be defined as “A set of urban areas laying less than 200m apart”.
Those urban areas are defined from land cover classes contributing to the urban tissue and function.
The Corine Land Cover classes used to build the Urban Morphological Zone dataset are the following ones:
Core Classes
111 – Continuous urban fabric
112 – Discontinuous urban fabric
121 – Industrial or commercial units
141 – Green urban areas
Enlarged core classes: 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.
122 (Road and rail networks) and 511 (Water courses), when neighbours to the enlarged core classes, cut by 300m buffer.
Forests & scrub (311,312,313,322,323,324), when they are completely within the core classes.
