Abstract
The origin of the Urban Atlas answers to a European Commission need for detailed and comparable information related to cities. The urban information is so far provided by local and national statistics or using data extracted from land cover maps as CORINE Land Cover. CORINE Land Cover provides a resolution of 1:100,000 (25 ha) and is clearly unsatisfactory for the demand of the Commission services. As in Europe, urban areas accommodate more than three-quarters of the population and these areas have grown rapidly in recent decades, there is an urgent need for pan-European, reliable and inter-comparable urban planning data. The Urban Atlas, developed as part of GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) brings exactly that.
