El Salvador Urban Green Space and Public Access Metrics, 1990-2020

Data from the United Nations Human Settlements Programme on urban open spaces and green areas in El Salvador. It includes metrics such as the average share of urban areas allocated to streets and open public spaces, the share of the urban population with convenient access to an open public space, the share of cities in green areas, and green area per capita. The data covers the years 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020.

Use Cases

• Assess urban planning policies based on the share of urban area allocated to streets and open public spaces.
• Evaluate equitable access to public amenities based on the share of urban population within 400 meters of an open space.
• Monitor changes in urban green cover over time based on the percentage of cities in green areas.
• Analyze the availability of green space per resident based on the green area per capita metric.

Strengths

• Data covers four distinct time points spanning three decades (1990, 2000, 2010, 2020).
• Includes multiple standardized metrics for urban green space and public access.
• Produced by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, an authoritative international body.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the source platform and focus on El Salvador.
