Comparing built-up area datasets to assess urban exposure to coastal hazards in europe

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The authors systematically explore and quantify the differences in exposure distribution of built-up land and population in different settlement types in coastal Europe using different data defining the settlement types. As the authors aim for a definition of settlement types independent from population numbers the authors distinguish settlement types based on built-up area densities and not according to the DEGURBA. The authors evaluate the estimates by comparing the results with regional built-up area data in six European cities and assess the sensitivity of the data to changes in the density thresholds of the . . .
