Venezuela Urban Green and Public Space Metrics, 1990-2020

Urban planning data for Venezuela from the United Nations Human Settlements Programme. It includes metrics on the share of urban areas allocated to streets and open public spaces, access to public spaces, and green area coverage per capita. The data covers four time points: 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020.

Use Cases

• Assess urban equity based on the share of the population with convenient access to open public spaces.
• Track changes in urban green infrastructure over time using green area per capita and city green area share metrics.
• Benchmark city planning performance using the average share of urban land dedicated to streets and public spaces.

Strengths

• Data spans four decades (1990, 2000, 2010, 2020), enabling longitudinal analysis.
• Includes specific, standardized metrics like population within 400 meters of a public space and green area in square meters per person.
• 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 for large-scale modeling.
