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 UMZ Changes have been calculated by unioning UMZ90 and UMZ00 layers and removing all areas which were UMZ in both years. The remaining polygons are considered as positive changes when they are new UMZ areas in 2000 and negative changes when it was UMZ in 1990 and not in 2000 (Some negative changes might be due to different interpretations between 1990-2000).

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
