Datasets used in: Modelling eye-level visibility of urban green space: Optimising city-wide point-based viewshed computations through prototyping

Research data supporting our publication. Full workflows using the R programming language have been provided on GitHub. Here we provide external data that has been used for our research, as well as the resulting Viewshed Greenness Visibility Index (VGVI) raster.
