Availability and validity <strong>of</strong> data on ‚<strong>Shrinking</strong> <strong>Cities</strong>’<br />
What kind <strong>of</strong> data is available in Europe? (see Wolff 2011)<br />
• Eurostat<br />
• NUTS 1, 2, 3 regional scale not adequate to analyze cities<br />
• LAU 1, 2 low comparability and validity<br />
• Urban Audit with 357 (larger) cities not up-to-date, large gaps,<br />
lack <strong>of</strong> metadata<br />
• National statistics<br />
• different standards, methods, and variables<br />
• heterogeneous time-reference <strong>of</strong> existing data<br />
• different operationalization <strong>of</strong> ‚cities’<br />
• different thresholds<br />
• in some countries poor availability <strong>of</strong> socio-economic data<br />
