Mapping Network-Based Access to Green Space in the City of Toronto

This research project seeks to improve population health and well-being in the City of Toronto by creating a new performance measure to evaluate and track improvements to local access to green space. This new approach uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to calculate the area of parks and open space that is accessible within a 5-minute or 400-metre network-based walkshed surrounding 50,000 grid points distributed across the City. Population data are also integrated to standardize results and provide an equity measure of access to green space per capita. This new method allows planners to create innovative maps that support detailed community engagement and evidence-based decision making.
