Service Description: Data on green space was obtained from Copernicus Urban Atlas 2012 (https://land.copernicus.eu/local/urban-atlas/urban-atlas-2012). The following Urban Atlas classes were treated as green space: 11230 (discontinuous low desnity urban fabric); 11240 (discontinuous very low density urban fabric); 14100 (green urban areas); 14200 (sports and leisure facilities); 20000 (agricultural areas, semi-natural areas and wetlands); and 30000 (forests). Urban Morphological Area (UMZ) is a reference unit for city morphology (as the best approximation of the โrealโ city form, which often does not correspond to the administrative delineation). UMZ was intersected with the polygon representive the administrative boundary of the city (urban Audity core city - polygon, version 2011-2014: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata/reference-data/administrative-units-statistical-units/urban-audit) to identify the UMZ within the core city. The total area of the green space per UMZ within the core city was calculated and divided by the area of the UMZ within the core city.

Comments: Data on green space was obtained from Copernicus Urban Atlas 2012 (https://land.copernicus.eu/local/urban-atlas/urban-atlas-2012). The following Urban Atlas classes were treated as green space: 11230 (discontinuous low desnity urban fabric); 11240 (discontinuous very low density urban fabric); 14100 (green urban areas); 14200 (sports and leisure facilities); 20000 (agricultural areas, semi-natural areas and wetlands); and 30000 (forests). Urban Morphological Area (UMZ) is a reference unit for city morphology (as the best approximation of the ‘real’ city form, which often does not correspond to the administrative delineation). UMZ was intersected with the polygon representive the administrative boundary of the city (urban Audity core city - polygon, version 2011-2014: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata/reference-data/administrative-units-statistical-units/urban-audit) to identify the UMZ within the core city. The total area of the green space per UMZ within the core city was calculated and divided by the area of the UMZ within the core city.
Subject: The presence and proportion of green space in densely built-up urban areas is an important aspect of adaptation to climate change. Green space regulates the microclimate of the city, reducing the temperatures. It also reduces the risk of flooding related to heavy precipitation, as vegetation and permeable surfaces retain and infiltrate rainwater, reducing the amount that comes into the drainage system.
