Map viewer on availability of urban green spaces to vulnerable groups

The European Climate and Health Observatory now includes a map viewer visualizing the availability of urban green spaces to vulnerable groups. The viewer allows to explore the availability of urban green to the elderly and to unemployed people as well as around schools and hospitals.

Key message include:

  • In most European countries, urban areas with more people over 65 years old tend to have more green space
  • The level of greening around urban schools and hospitals tends to be low in Europe. 

The map viewer is available here.
