Land Uptake per Person (inhabitants and jobs) (LUP) 2009 (LEAC Grid), Nov. 2016
Description
The new urban sprawl metric, named "Weighted Urban Proliferation“ (WUP) is based on the following definition of urban sprawl: the more area is built over in a given landscape (amount of built-up area) and the more dispersed this built-up area is in the landscape (spatial configuration), and the higher the uptake of built-up area per inhabitant or job (lower utilisation intensity in the built-up area), the higher the degree of urban sprawl.
Weighted Urban Proliferation (WUP) metric has three components: the percentage of built-up areas (PBA), the dispersion of the built-up areas (DIS), and land uptake per person (LUP).
Land uptake per person (inhabitants and jobs) (LUP) describes the use of urban built-up area by people working and living in that area.
