Haiti Urban Green and Public Space Metrics, 1990-2020

United Nations Human Settlements Programme data tracks urban access to green and public spaces in Haiti over four decades. Metrics include the average share of urban areas allocated to streets and open public spaces, and the share of the urban population within 400 meters of such spaces. The dataset also provides the percentage of cities in green areas and green area per capita for 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020.

Use Cases

• Assess urban planning policy effectiveness based on changes in green area per capita over time.
• Model equitable access to public spaces based on the share of the urban population within a 400-meter walking distance.
• Benchmark city infrastructure using the average share of urban land allocated to streets and open public spaces.

Strengths

• Provides a 30-year time series with data points for 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020.
• Includes multiple standardized metrics for urban green and public space analysis.
• Sourced from 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 and methodological bias inherent to the source platform.
