Section 3: Urban, National and Regional Data

The third section in the atlas contains urban, national and regional data tables in Excel format.

The first set of tables provides information on all the spatial metrics in the 1990-2000 global sample of 120 cities in spreadsheet form, making it possible for researchers to easily gain access to the data.

The second data set provides information from the historical study of densities on the density of each city in at the end of every decade, from 1800 to 2000.

The third data set provides estimates of urban land cover in all countries and world regions in the year 2000.

The fourth data set provides projections of urban land cover for all cities and countries, given three different assumptions about density change over time: (a) no density change; (b) a 1 percent annual density decline; and (c) a 2 percent annual density decline.
