This data package contains supplementary materials related to large public urban green space indicator validation conducted for 13 diverse cities worldwide. This research was initiated by the Global Observatory of Healthy and Sustainable Cities for the 1000 Cities Challenge and inclusion in the Global Healthy & Sustainable City Indicators (GHSCI) open-source software.
This data package contains the following:
A folder for each of the 13 cities involved in the project, containing spatial data in .shp format for the urban centre boundary, large public urban green spaces, accessibility grid, and pedestrian network. Additionally, official local reference data is included for the 4 select cities analysed.
The instructional video provided to collaborators is also included as a .mp4 file, which outlines how to access the accessibility web map, how to perform the LACO-Wiki validation, and how to access and record comments in the live spreadsheet.
The complete validation spreadsheet with comments is included as a .pdf file.
A table of urban centre boundary source files used for each of the 13 cities included in a .pdf file.
Additionally, please follow this link to the GitHub repository hosting the accessibility web maps used in the validation exercise for each city.
