Methodology:

From the Urban Atlas classification vector dataset (2006) the classes 141, 142, 300 and 500 were extracted for core cities and summed up to a new class named Green Urban area. Next the percentage of Urban Green area compared to the total area was calculated of each core city yet available within the Urban Atlas database.

But in some cases the delineation also includes substantial areas outside the urban built-up areas (parts of the urban fringe and hinterland); in other cases, it includes only city centres
