Coastal areas are urbanizing at unprecedented rates, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Combinations of long-standing and emerging problems in these urban areas generate vulnerability for human well-being and ecosystems alike. Based on the presented data sets a spatially explicit global systematization of these problems into typical urban vulnerability profiles can be derived for the year 2000 using largely sub-national data.
We present here 11 indicator datasets for urban expansion, urban population growth, marginalization of poor populations, government effectiveness, exposures and damages to climate-related extreme events, low-lying settlement, and wetlands prevalence.
Applying a standard k-means cluster analysis to this input data reveals a global typology of seven clearly distinguishable clusters, or urban profiles of vulnerability (for results see Sterzel et. al., 2019).
