Probably, a green space provision indicator based on distance can be more readily interpreted, but it is more difficult to assess since it requires fine-scaled population data. Therefore, soil sealing has been added on the right side of each figure. This proportion of developed and paved areas provides a kind of inverse number to the green space proportion. Sealed areas cannot percolate water and no longer have viable natural soils, and thus they are hardly suitable for outdoor recreation and have low potentials for biodiversity. The maps show clearly the densest built-up areas of the cities which are not only in the centers. These areas give reason to demand action to provide more green of any possible type, for instance through roof greening and green façades (see Sects. 4.​2 and 4.​3).
