Transport - larger urban zone

Description

Eurostat Dataset Id:urb_ltran

Data on European cities were collected in the Urban Audit and in the Large City Audit project. The projects' ultimate goal is to contribute towards the improvement of the quality of urban life: it supports the exchange of experience among European cities; it helps to identify best practices; it facilitates benchmarking at the European level and provides information on the dynamics within the cities and with their surroundings. At the city level, the Urban Audit contains 187 variables and 63 indicators. These indicators are derived from the variables collected by the European Statistical System. They are both spread out among 21 tables within 2 main groups, according to relevance, plus a perception survey table: Cities and greater cities (urb_cgc) Population on 1 January by age groups and sex - cities and greater cities (urb_cpop1) Population structure - cities and greater cities (urb_cpopstr) Population by citizenship and country of birth - cities and greater cities (urb_cpopcb) Fertility and mortality - cities and greater cities (urb_cfermor) Social statistics, annual - cities and greater cities (urb_csocsta) Social statistics, multiannual - cities and greater cities (urb_csocstma) Labour market, annual - cities and greater cities (urb_clma) Labour market, multiannual - cities and greater cities (urb_clmma) Economy and finance - cities and greater cities (urb_cecfi) Transport - cities and greater cities (urb_ctran) Environment - cities and greater cities (urb_cenv)   Larger urban zone (urb_luz) Population on 1 January by age groups and sex - larger urban zone (urb_lpop1) Population structure - larger urban zone (urb_lpopstr) Population by citizenship and country of birth - larger urban zone (urb_lpopcb) Fertility and mortality - larger urban zone (urb_lfermor) Social statistics, annual - larger urban zone (urb_lsocsta) Social statistics, multiannual - larger urban zone (urb_lsocstma) Labour market, annual - larger urban zone (urb_llma) Labour market, multiannual - larger urban zone (urb_llmma) Transport - larger urban zone (urb_ltran) Environment - larger urban zone (urb_lenv) Perception survey results (urb_percep)   Data have been collected on four spatial levels in the Urban Audit:

• the Core City (C) according to the administrative definition, as the basic level,
• the Larger Urban Zone (LUZ) being an approximation of the functional urban zone centered around the city, and
• in some cases, the urban centre stretches far beyond its boundaries. To better capture the entire urban centre, a 'greater city' level (K), former kernel, has been created. This level was created for some  capitals and several other large cities.
• The Sub-City District (SCD) being a subdivision of the city according to population criteria.
