Presented data have been compiled on the basis of the information obtained from the European Statistical Offices and covers the set of data concerning 22 capital cities. The scope of information covers issues related to population, health, dwellings, public safety, culture and tourism. However, methodological differences in statistics of countries causes that the data presented in folder are not always strictly comparable. Therefore, the folder Warsaw as compared with selected European Capital Cities – basic socio-demographic indicators can't be a source of depth statistical analysis, but makes it possible to show Warsaw in relation to other capitals in terms of selected indicators. The folder is also an invitation to deepening this theme and encouraging the use of information resources of public statistics.
