Population estimation for the Urban Atlas Polygons
The aim of this technical note is to describe the methodology and source data used to estimate the residential population in each built-up polygon of the Urban Atlas land use/cover dataset.
The final outcome of the procedure is a new attribute to the Urban Atlas polygons that will broaden the range of uses of the Urban Atlas dataset, contributing to new analysis and assessments in different thematic fields, e.g. urban quality of life (accessibility to recreational areas; exposure to sources of noise); urban morphology (population density gradients).
