valkiii Hello, I tried to download the Urban Atlas GIS data from the website http://www.eea.europa.eu/[…]/urban-atlas#tab-gis-data but everytime I try to unzip a file a lock appears on the unzipped folder and when I doubleclick on it it says "you do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of" the dataset. What should I do?

dwalsh URBAN ATLAS QUESTION. Can someone help? I have downloaded shape files for a small number of cities from the excellent urban atlas (http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/urban-atlas). I want to use them to produce some simple comparative statistics for the cities (e.g. comparing the % of land within certain boundaries that are used for different purposes). However, when I open the shape files within ArcMap (version 10.1) the coordinate system is undefined. Thus, although I can see the data, I can't analyse it in relation to other boundaries/GIS data.

The meta data online says it does have a coordinate system but clearly ArcMap can't read it.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks very much
