  5. European statistics on cities • 1999 - Pilot study of DG REGIO on 58 European cities in EU-15 – “Urban Audit” • 2008 - The Urban Audit III data collection is completed • 2009 – Launching the Urban Audit IV data collection

  6. What is the Urban Audit? The Urban Audit is a joint effort by the European Commission and the European Statistical System to provide reliable and comparative statistical information on selected urban areas Characteristics: • Spatial dimension • Indicators dimension

  7. Spatial dimension

  8. The Past • 58 cities participated in the Urban Audit pilot phase. Paris and London have not been included because of their size.  • For 27 of the 58 cities a Wider Territorial Unit or Conurbation level was defined. • Sub city areas were defined with average populations of around 10,000 but less than 100,000 and more than 2,000.

  9. The Present • More then 350 cities participated in the Urban Audit III from 31 countries.   • For 9 out of 10 cities a Larger Urban Zone was defined. • More than 7000 sub city areas were defined with populations less than 40,000 and more than 5,000.

  10. Cities participating in the Urban Audit

  11. The Future • In the Urban Audit IV we continue to collect data from more than 350 cities.  Few new cities might join. • The Larger Urban Zones will be maintained and revised on a case by case basis. Challenge • Looking for new ways to capture the changing “boundaries” of cities

  12. Indicators dimension

  13. The Past • Ambitious list of indicators  covering 21 domains • Part-Time Employment in sector Q • Number of shopping trips per year by residents • Annual distance travelled per person by cycle (km) • Proportion of natural gas used by the commercial (service) sector (%) • Sport facilities usage (per resident per year) • Data availability varied from 0% to 100%

  14. The Present • Less ambitious list of indicators • Indicators with low data availability were dropped • More then 350 indicators in 9 domains • Data availability still varies from domain to domain  

  15. The Future The list of indicators to be used in the future was created based on the following principles • Change as little as possible – to maintain continuity in the data base • Add only a very limited number of indicators • Satisfy user needs, the policy demand • Respect data supply – the Urban Audit remains to be a secondary data collection

  16. Review of indicators Demand • Review policy need • Consult stakeholders • Contributions received from: • DG ENVIRONMENT • EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY (EEA) • DG HEALTH • DG ENTERPRISE • DG TRANSPORT • DG EMPLOYMENT • EUROSTAT TEAM FOR WASTE STATISTICS • EUROSTAT TEAM FOR WATER INDICATORS • EUROSTAT TEAM FOR CULTURE • EUROPEAN COUNCIL OF ARCHITECTS (ACE) Supply • Review what is available • Consult stakeholders • Contributions received from: • National Urban Audit Co-ordinators • EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY (EEA) • EUROSTAT GISCO TEAM

  18. Data not to be collected

  19. New Indicators to be collected • Median population age • Number of persons born abroad (not only nationals), broken down by continent • Proportion of households with at least 3 children less than 17 years old • Number of unemployed person households with children • Suicide rate (by age groups) • Number of general practitioners • Number of specialist doctors • The employment rates by gender with/without children (0-17) • Number of enterprises that had a revenue increase last year (size class >250 employees) • Employment growth last year (size class 1-250 employees) • Employment growth last year (size class >250 employees) • Average size of school classes • Percentage of population exposed to concentrations in exceedance for fine particles PM2.5 • Proportion of solid waste which is composted

  20. Indicators to be collected in the Future with other methods • Frequency of extreme weather conditions • Number of days of peak heat • Maximum number of consecutive days without rain • People affected by health problems due to extreme weather conditions • Emissions from domestic heating (PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOX) • Transport emissions (PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOX) • Proportion of solid waste produced by construction • Demolition waste; Industrial waste • Total surface area of the sites classified as potentially contaminated sites • Primary energy demand (toe) by fuel • Final energy consumption (toe) by fuel • Electricity demand per capita (kWh/capita) • Consumption of renewable energies by source percent of total consumption)

  21. Alternative methods to collect data on cities – The Urban Atlas • Reference year 2006 +- 1 year • Goal cover all Urban Audit Larger Urban Zones • Ideally, updating should be less expensive and could be envisaged every 3 years • Next update for reference year 2011

  22. The Urban Atlas Possible new indicators • Land use in cities • Urban sprawl • Green space availability • Accessibility • …
