New “Urban Atlas” launched

Article Type: News From: Management of Environmental Quality: An International Journal, Volume 21, Issue 6

The European Environment Agency (EEA) hosts detailed maps and land cover information on the 117 European cities currently included in its new “Urban Atlas”. The Urban Atlas brings together thousands of images from European satellites and provides detailed and cost-effective mapping of larger urban zones, yielding accurate land cover and usage data.

Future editions of Urban Atlas are planned every three to five years, communicating on the evolution of cities. Details can be seen at: www.eea.europa.eu/highlights/check-out-europe2019s-urban-atlas?&utm_campaign=check-out-europe2019s-urban-atlas&utm_medium=email&utm_source=eeasubscriptions
