The spatial data can be downloaded together with a map for each FUA covered and a report with the metadata for the respective area.

Multispectral SPOT 5 & 6 and Formosat-2 pan-sharpened imagery with a 2 to 2.5m spatial resolution is used as input data. The built-up classes are combined with density information on the level of sealed soil derived from the High Resolution Layer imperviousness to provide more detail in the density of the urban fabric. Finally, the Urban Atlas product is complemented and enriched with functional information (road network, services, utilities etc…) using ancillary data sources such as local city maps or online map services. In the autumn 2018 the Institute of Nature Research verified the UA layer for year 2012 with the LACO-Wiki online tool. Information on the verification is to be found in the following report: "UA2012_VerificationReport_IS" at the download site of Institute of Nature Research. Software used for verification: LACO-WIKI, (GoogleEarth, ArcMap 10.5.1)
