Methodology:
1) Potential flood areas by 1 m water rise were delineated for all Europe according to ETC/LUSI (2010). 2) Cities were defined by clipping UMZs inside Core City of Urban Audit. 3) Resulting layers of step 1 and step 2 were crossed and, for each city (according definition in step 2) intersected area was calculated. 4) For each city, flooded area (step 3) was divided by total area (part of the UMZ inside the core city of Urban Audit) in order to obtain the percentage. 5) Percentages obtained from the cities were grouped by quartiles and grouped by country.
