This table includes additional information to the above visualized indicators, i.e. a short definition of this indicator and a description of the politically determined target values as well as explaining the political intention behind selecting this indicator.
| Definition |
As a weighted average across all cities with more than 20,000 inhabitants, the indicator shows the proportion of the population (in %) living within walking distance (maximum 300 m as the crow flies) of green spaces suitable for recreation with a defined minimum size of one hectare. |
|---|---|
| Intention |
Urban nature close to neighbourhoods offers the urban population important spaces for recreation, exercise, sport, experiencing nature and socialising and ensures adaptation to weather extremes, for example, through cooling during periods of heat, fresh air production or rain retention during heavy rainfall events. It is therefore of great importance for environmental justice and quality of life, including physical and mental well-being. |
| Target |
Green areas, parks etc. in cities should be within walking distance for everyone in future |
| Type of target |
Directional target |
| Implementation in weather symbol calculation |
The proportion of the population within walking distance of recreational green areas in cities should be increased. |
