London Green and Blue Cover

<p>The GLA have produced a dataset that provides a more accurate estimate of the extent of the London’s green infrastructure - the city’s parks, gardens, trees, green spaces, rivers and wetlands, and features such as green roofs.&nbsp;</p> <p>The green cover layer was created by combining classified near-infrared aerial imagery (NDVI) with land use datasets and resulted in a green cover estimate for London of between 48-51 percent.<em> </em>The baseline is presented as a range to account for variations in the analysis of aerial imagery. The methodology is set out in the report below and a <a href="https://maps.london.gov.uk/green-cover" target="_blank">web map</a> created to visualise the data.</p> <p>The final green cover layer is available to download in a geospatial format (shape files).</p> <p> <strong style="color: inherit;">Contains OS data&nbsp;</strong>©&nbsp;<strong style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Crown copyright and database rights 2019.</strong> </p> <p> <strong style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Contains Verisk </strong> <strong>Analytics&nbsp;</strong> <strong style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">GeoInformation Group UKMap data.</strong> </p> <p> <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">NOTE: The data is based on Ordnance Survey mapping and the data is published under Ordnance Survey's 'presumption to publish'. </span> </p>
