Urban planning metrics for Niger from the United Nations Human Settlements Programme. The data 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 also tracks the average share of cities in green areas and green area per capita for the years 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in urban green space allocation based on percentage share data for 1990-2020.
- Evaluate equitable access to public spaces based on population proximity metrics within 400 meters.
- Benchmark urban development against Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) using per capita green area figures.
- Model urban sprawl and infrastructure planning using combined metrics for streets, open spaces, and green areas.
Strengths
- Data covers four distinct time points (1990, 2000, 2010, 2020), enabling longitudinal analysis.
- Metrics are defined with specific operational criteria, such as access within 400 meters walking distance.
- Provided by an authoritative source, the 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.
- Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to the source platform.
