Table summary
This table displays the results of Table B.2 Data processing for the 1971 built-up and settled area, by census metropolitan area (CMA) and census metropolitan area-ecosystem (CMA-E). CMA, CMA-E, Built-up area from Canada Land Inventory: Land Use (CLI: LU) (circa 1966), Additional built-up area from Canada Land Use Monitoring Program (CLUMP), 1971, Built-up area trimmed using AAFC Land Use, 1990, Roads removed from core built-up area using AAFC Land Use, 1990 and Total remaining - 1971 settled area, calculated using square kilometres units of measure (appearing as column headers).

Note 1.

CMA-E are not spatially mutually exclusive--they overlap where a Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) polygon crosses more than one CMA boundary, as is the case in Vancouver and Abbotsford–Mission or Toronto and surrounding CMAs including Hamilton, Oshawa, Kitchener–Cambridge–Waterloo, Guelph, Brantford and Barrie. For this reason, CMA-E data should not be summed to generate a total and caution should be used when comparing data. See CMA-E maps in Section 3: Ecosystem accounts and statistics by census metropolitan area for a visual representation of the CMA-E boundaries.

Note 2.

The CLI: LU and CLUMP built-up data include roads located within the core-built-up area; however data for roads outside these areas are not available. The AAFC Land Use, 1990, 2000 and 2010 product provides data for settled area and roads. Data presented for roads in 1971 in Table A.1 and elsewhere in this report were modeled to enable comparisons over time.

Note 3.

This report defines settled area as built-up area not including roads.
