Assessing Urban Green Space Accessibility in Amsterdam

This is dataset is an ArcGIS Pro project was used to calculate walking distance from buildings to Urban Green Spaces (UGS) within the municipality of Amsterdam. This was made as part of an MSc Earth Sciences thesis aimed at assessing UGS and heat exposure in Amsterdam. The thesis is based on the idea that UGS function as cool spaces within the urban heat island of the city, and thus provides lower temperatures to urban residents, specifically during hot summer months, therefore reducing the risk of heat stress and heat-related illnesses and morbidity.
