Description

An Earth Observation based approach to developing Urban Habitat and Naturalness Maps was developed during 2021/22 and further refined during 2022/23 which included the upscaling of application of the method to a small selection of major urban conurbations in England (Tyneside, Greater Manchester, Greater Birmingham). The focus of this contract will be on applying the established method to a second phase suite of areas in order to expand the England coverage of Urban Habitat and Naturalness maps. For technical reasons the target areas will be subject to confirmation but are currently planned to be Greater London, West Yorkshire and the Liverpool city Region. The contact will apply the mapping method to the target areas and deliver a suite of GIS based whole area maps of Broad and Detailed Urban Habitats, Naturalness and Combined Naturalness Factor maps for publicly accessible green spaces.
