Green Infrastructure Elements in the urban and commuting zones in 2018 - version 1, May 2021
Description
This metadata refers to the raster data on green infrastructure networks covering 786 cities in EEA38 member countries and United Kingdom in 2018. The dataset consist of strategically planned natural and man-made green structures, designed to deliver a wide range of ecosystem services. These services include water and air purification, space for recreation and climate mitigation and adaptation. This network of green (land) and blue (water) spaces can improve environmental conditions and therefore citizens' health and quality of life. It also supports a green economy, creates job opportunities and enhances biodiversity. To maximise its benefits, Green Infrastructure should be an essential component of spatial and physical planning.
Green Infrastructure comprises a wide range of environmental features that operate at different scales and form part of an interconnected ecological network. This dataset identifies the Green Infrastructure elements in the urban and commuting zones. These elements are green urban areas, private gardens, sports and leisure areas, allotments, trees, natural and semi-natural areas, high nature value agricultural areas, and blue elements (wetlands and water).
