Thanks for posting your paper which I will print out and read properly!
Section 3.2 and Table 1: does the 'continuous urban' category cover e.g. a fairly large park in the middle of a city? I can't see a category for 'parkland'.
As a concrete example have a look at Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham [1]. It struck me that it is possible to be surrounded by green semi-natural parkland within the inner ring of a city of 1 million.
The dataset used is the UK Land Cover Map 2000 [1]. It's at 25m resolution, and urban parkland should show up as the appropriate land cover types: grassland, deciduous forest, etc.
