South Sudan Urban Green and Public Space Metrics from 1990 to 2020

United Nations Human Settlements Programme data tracks urban access to green and public spaces in South Sudan over three decades. The dataset includes metrics such as the average share of urban areas allocated to streets and open public spaces, and green area per capita. It covers four time points: 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020.

Use Cases

• Assess urban planning policy effectiveness based on the share of urban population with convenient access to an open public space.
• Model changes in urban green infrastructure based on green area per capita data from 1990 to 2020.
• Compare the allocation of urban land for public use based on the average share of urban areas allocated to streets and open public spaces.

Strengths

• Data spans four distinct time points over a 30-year period (1990, 2000, 2010, 2020).
• Metrics are defined with specific thresholds, such as access within a 400-meter walking distance.

Limitations

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