City locations: GeoNames (CC BY 4.0). The population estimate covers the selected map area in 2020, adapted from the European Commission’s GHS-POP R2023A (CC BY 4.0; Pesaresi et al., 2024). Growth: European Commission JRC GHS-BUILT-S R2023A (1975, 1990, 2005, 2020). Each color marks built-up area present by 1975 or added in a later period. Dot coverage is scaled separately for each period. The colors do not show population change.
