Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: This dataset contains areas by degree of urbanisation (revised definition, 2014). The degree of urbanisation classifies local administrative units (LAU2 with the exceptions of Malta and Denmark at LAU1 level) in Europe into three categories: thinly (rural), intermediate (towns and suburbs or small urban) and densely populated (cities or large urban) areas. The classification is based on a population distribution grid with raster cells of 1 sqkm size. Data are available for EU countries, Norway, Switzerland, Serbia and Iceland. The data is available at 1:1 million generalisation and is available to the public via the GISCO website. Note this data was generalised from EBM 9 and therefore the boundaries may not match to other reference data such as NUTS, CNTRS 2013.
