The authors would like to make the following corrections about the published paper [1]. The changes are as follows: Authors would like to change twelve parts of the table content, so we need to replace the original Table 1: Built-up areas, population numbers and urban sprawl metrics for the study areas calculated separately for the inner-city areas and outer areas for the time frames 1975 and 2014/2015. Inner-city areas of London and Seoul include partial areas of neighboring municipalities. All parameters were derived from the GHSL dataset and therefore can vary from official statistical data. (PBA: percentage of built-up area, LUPp: land uptake per inhabitant, DIS: spatial dispersion of settlement patches, WUPp: Weighted Urban Proliferation based population without workplaces). (Data source: own calculation based on GHSL). with Built-up areas, population numbers and urban sprawl metrics for the study areas calculated separately for the inner-city areas and outer areas for the time frames 1975 and 2014/2015.
