The cities are defined at several conceptual levels: - the core city, using an administrative definition,â the Larger Urban Zone (LUZ), approximating the functional urban region and for 8 capitals, the City Kernel, a concept introduced to improve comparability between large cities. In addition, for 285 participating cities, data is provided at two hierarchical sublevels: - Sub City Districts level 1 (SCD L1) and Sub City Districts level 2 (SCD L2). The data set is based on EuroBoundaryMap 2004 (Eurogeographics), EuroRegionalMap version 3.0 (EuroGeographics) and spatial data supplied by Urban Audot delegates from Member States. The Urban Audit city points are, when possible, synchronised to an Urban Fabric class in Corine Land Cover 2000. The coverage is the EU-27 plus Croatia (HR), Norway (NO) and Switzerland (CH). An introduction to Urabn Audit is available here: http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/region_cities/city_urban . The public data set is available under Download link. The complete data set is available via the EC restricted download link under GISCO.URAU_2004.

The collected data is referenced to 2004. It is managed by the Directorate General for Regional Policy in collaboration with EUROSTAT. The URAU_2004 polygonal geometry for UA Cities, UA City Kernels and Large Urban Zones was derived from the GISCO Communes 2004 regional feature class. Information assigning membership of each EBM 2004 commune to each of the 3 UA conceptual levels was provided at the Country level. The URAU_2004 polygonal geometry for Sub City Districts was either derived from the GISCO Communes 2004 regional feature class (where information assigning membership of each EBM 2004 commune to hierarchical sublevels levels was provided at the Country level), or derived from geometry supplied by URAU delegates which was made coincident with UA City geometry. Generalised versions were created for display at a scale of 1:3 Million. The point geometry of the Urban Audit Cities was based on the GISCO STTL_V3 dataset of European Settlements. Points were created in 17 cases where a UA City could not be matched to a Settlement in GISCO STTL_V3 dataset. Geometry: GISCO COMM_2004 (source EuroBoundary Map - EuroGeographics); GISCO STTL_V3 (edited from EuroRegionalMap v3.0 - EuroGeographics, and synchronised to Corine Land Cover Urban Fabric classes); URAU delegate geometry (source Eurostat) Attributes: Country tables listing the UA status (codes) of EBM_2004 communes (source Eurostat); Name tables listing the attributes of UA entities (source Eurostat) Country tables (for IE, PT and MT only) listing the SCD2 L2 status (codes) of EBM_2004 communes (source Eurostat); Name tables listing the attributes of SCD entities (source Eurostat).
