Transcript The FUA database

THE FUA DATABASE
NUAC conference 18th June 2014
Daniel SANCHEZ-SERRA
Current application and future directions
1. EU-OECD definition applied to 29 OECD
countries, 1 179 FUA covering two-thirds of
OECD population. Increase country coverage
(what when no commuting data?)
2. Metropolitan database for FUA larger than
500k people. Increase indicators on FUA (also
smaller ones).
3. FUA according to 2000 boundaries and
population. Capture urban areas extension
changes over the time.
Utility of the methodology to different
audiences
1) Inform
society
2) Contribute to
research

Collaboration with data producers
• Extension of the database …
– new indicators
– improve the current ones
(i.e. Employment,..)
• …requires collaboration with data
producers
– NSO
– Academia and other institutions
Metropolitan analysis was part of the
Regions at a Glance 2013
The series OECD Regions at a Glance compares
major regional patterns and trends across OECD
countries.
Regions at a Glance 2013
(released 4th December 2013)
1. Special focus: Metropolitan areas in OECD
countries
2. Regions as drivers of the national
competitiveness
3. Sub national finance and investment for
regional development
4. Inclusion and equal access to quality services
in regions
5. Environmental sustainability in regions
Impact of the economic crisis on regional economies in each chapter
Urbanisation
Urbanisation interacts strongly with periphery areas
Population growth 2000-2012 by city types and city/commuting zone (average yearly growth
rates)
Economic competitiveness
Metropolitan areas account for around
half of the OECD population,
employment and GDP,…
..and they account for large share of the
national GDP growth (2000-2010)
Source: OECD metropolitan database; metropolitan areas are functional urban areas
with at least 500,000 population
Note: GDP and Employment in the metropolitan areas are estimated by adjusting the
GDP values of TL2 regions
% of GDP, employment and population in metropolitan areas (2012)
Environmental sustainability
Different urban patterns give place to different sources of CO2 emission
Source: OECD metropolitan database; metropolitan areas are functional urban areas with at least 500,000 population
Share of CO2 emissions from transport and energy sector in the metropolitan areas with more
than 1.5 million people, 2008
Administrative organisation
Governance will have to take into account the administration
organisation of metropolitan areas
Note: OECD metropolitan database; metropolitan areas are functional urban areas with at least 500,000 population
Top 20 Metro areas with the highest territorial fragmentation (number of local
municipalities per 1,000 inhabitants)
