Urban Green and Public Space Access in Honduras, 1990-2020

Data from the United Nations Human Settlements Programme on urban open spaces and green areas in Honduras. 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 average share of cities in green areas, and green area per capita. The data covers the periods 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 performance against sustainable development goals using the average share of urban areas allocated to streets and open spaces.

Strengths

• Data covers four distinct time points over a 30-year period (1990-2020).
• Includes multiple standardized metrics for urban green and public space analysis.
• Produced by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, an authoritative source on urban data.

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 HDX platform's aggregation.
