Ethiopian Urban Open and Green Space Metrics, 1990-2020

Urban planning data for Ethiopia covering two key metrics. The dataset includes the average share of urban areas allocated to streets and open public spaces, and the share of the urban population with convenient access to an open public space. It was produced by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Benchmark urban public space allocation across Ethiopian cities based on the average share metric.
• Analyze changes in green area per capita over time based on data from 1990 to 2020.
• Assess equitable access to open public spaces based on the share of population within a 400-meter walking distance.

Strengths

• Provides data for four distinct time points spanning three decades (1990, 2000, 2010, 2020).
• Includes two distinct, policy-relevant metrics for urban space analysis.
• Data is provided by the authoritative United Nations Human Settlements Programme.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
