Urban Audit: Initial Assess- Ment of the Swiss Pilot Phase Nr.No.No 11 1 AoûtDezember August 2007 2007 2007 NEWS LETTER RäumlicheSpatialAnalyses analyses et Analysen disparités and disparitiesund spatiales Disparitäten Editorial The particular feature of this edition of StatSpace is that it is solely devoted to the European Urban Audit project in which Switzerland has been involved since 2006 as part of a pilot phase. This project has been implemented thanks to close co- operation between the FSO (Federal Statistical Office), ARE (Federal Office for Spatial Development) and the statistical of- fices and services in the cantons of Geneva and Vaud and in the cities of Zurich and Bern. The main purpose of this newsletter is to provide information about the Urban Audit project itself, as well as on the meas- ures taken by Switzerland as part of its involvement. It then presents, by way of illustration, a selection of indicators taken from the initial findings of the Swiss pilot phase, comparing Urban Audit: initial assess- Swiss cities in a European context.

Urban spatial discontinuity, which occurs when the urban fabric includes built-up or green areas and a relevant share of vacant spaces, has gained recent attention. In this paper, we use Global Human Settlement Layer data to track urbanisation dynamics in European Functional Urban Areas (FUAs) from 1990 to 2014. We represent urban sprawl as the spatial expansion of FUAs associated with either or both declining population density and increasing built-up area discontinuity. We also consider the association with the demographic trends that have been described as the primary driver of urban spatial expansion. We use configural frequency analysis to explore the local association between the different characters of sprawl. We found evidence that urban sprawl effectively took differentiated forms across European FUAs. Even though FUAs have generally become less dense and more disperse, our results show that the extent of these phenomena appears to be more contained in recent years than in previous decades.
