Service Description: An UMZ is defined as ‘a set of urban areas laying less than 200 m apart’. Those urban areas are defined with land cover classes contributing to the urban tissue and function. UMZ are derived from the Copernicus Urban Atlas 2012 by using urban core classes (residential, industrial and commercial, green urban areas) and adding enlarged core classes if they fulfil certain neighbourhood conditions of the core classes. The UMZs are clipped by the city administrative boundaries (Urban Audit 2011-2014 polygons https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata/reference-data/administrative-units-statistical-units/urban-audit#ua11-14) to include only the areas within the city administrative area.

Comments: An UMZ is defined as ‘a set of urban areas laying less than 200 m apart’. Those urban areas are defined with land cover classes contributing to the urban tissue and function. UMZ are derived from CORINE Land Cover (CLC) 2012 by using urban core classes (residential, industrial and commercial, green urban areas) and adding enlarged core classes if they fulfil certain neighbourhood conditions of the core classes. The UMZs are clipped by the city administrative boundaries (Urban Audit 2011-2014 polygons https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata/reference-data/administrative-units-statistical-units/urban-audit#ua11-14) to include only the areas within the city administrative area.
Subject: The Urban Morphological Zone (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 more accurately reflects the physical shape of cities compared to the administrative boundaries.
