Urban Structure / Urban Structure - Area Types Differentiated 2020

Statistical Base

The Environmental Atlas Maps “Actual Use of Built-Up Areas” (06.01), and “Inventory of Green and Open Spaces” (06.02) (SenStadtWohn 2021d and 2021e), were compiled parallel to Maps 06.07 and 06.08. In the process of updating to the version of December 31, 2020, changes in land use between 2016 and 2020 were recorded. Updates to the geometry of the 1 : 5,000 block (segment) area map (ISU5) were made and the urban structure maps were adapted accordingly. Moreover, the data base for actual use and structure mapping was subjected to an automated plausibility check on the basis of various geo-data available in the State of Berlin. Overall, the following statistical bases were used to update and check the actual use and urban structure maps:
