* When authors make use of data they should cite both the data set and the scientific publication, if available. Such a practice gives credit to data set producers and advances principles of transparency and reproducibility. Please visit the data citations page for details. Users who would like to choose to format the citation(s) for this dataset using a myriad of alternate styles can copy the DOI number and paste it into Crosscite's website.

The data are available in Excel (.xlsx) format here (830 KB). In these tables, LECZ10 estimates include population, built-up area, or land in the LECZ10 (i.e. estimates are inclusive of 0-10m LECZ). Estimates for LECZ05 are for 0-5m only. Tables showing growth rates also include the quantities of change in population, land or built-up, or change in shares of those quantities, upon which the growth rate is calculated. Negative numbers in the tables may be indicated either with () or a minus sign.
