The directions of spatial development of metropolitan areas in Poland

The “localities” vector layer contains localities from three Polish urban complexes (WMA, LMA and OAA) subjected to typology derived from their urban, demographic, and structural characteristics (Typ and Typ2 columns). The layer's attribute table also includes calculations of the component indicators (VL, PD, UI), which were used to carry out classification by cluster analysis (Cluster column).The “zones” layer shows four urban and peri-urban zones resulting from the combination of certain types of localities.Both layers can be opened in any GIS software (e.g. QGIS, SAGA GIS).
