  • Green structure of every urban area mapped

    Statistics Sweden has mapped the green structure in all localities in Sweden for the first time. The last time the survey on green areas in urban areas was carried out, in 2010, statistics could only be produced for the 37 largest localities. This time, the statistics include all localities, from Stockholm, with one million inhabitants, to the smallest localities with about 200 inhabitants.

  • Lidingö is the greenest urban area

    Lidingö in Stockholm County was the greenest urban area in 2010, with regard to the proportion of green space of the land area. Roughly 72 percent of the land was in some form of green structure. However, Borlänge is the greenest urban area if we regard green space per urban area inhabitant, with over 500 square meter of green space per inhabitant.
