Urban green areas

Description

Green areas in urban areas are defined geographically by Statistics Sweden as part of the production of official statistics on green areas and green areas in urban areas. The data made available here is therefore primarily intended for the production of statistics. A green area is defined by Statistics Sweden as an area of continuous green space amounting to at least 0.5 hectares and which is generally accessible. Grassland counts as green areas, but not arable land. Green areas are geographically delimited to within urban areas. The minimum unit of account is 0.5 hectares. The definition thus does not take into account whether the areas are designated as green areas in the municipalities' master plans or detailed development plans. The delimitation of green areas is based on satellite data that is co-processed with geographic information and register data from Lantmäteriet. Data are available for two different reference dates, 2010 and 2015. The 2010 data covers only green areas in the 37 largest agglomerations according to the 2010 agglomeration delimitation. The 2015 data includes green areas in all agglomerations according to the 2015 agglomeration delimitation.
