Methodology

By green availability we mean all the green surfaces present in the Study Area. these areas have been classified in 5 categories published by the Lombardy Region, in compliance with Decree 3870 of 7th of May 2012 entitled "Catalog of spatial data, specification of content for geographic DB". the five strata are identified as uncultivated pasture, agricultural crop, forest, urban green area and area temporarily lacking in vegetation.Although the analysis is limited to the green areas in the 'Study Area, it was considered appropriate to also represent the South Agricultural Park that is not taken into account in the analysis. A first comparison was proposed between the study area and the City of Milan , to understand if the portion of green present in the area is proportional to the number of inhabitants residing there.secondly, the analysis work compared the distribution of the five categories to the two different scales.In general, the following analysis focused on the category that concerned green infrastructures and nature based solutions, for urban green areas. The aforementioned categories are used nationwide, so it was possible to compare the quantities present in the main Italian cities.

conclusionBoth for the Municipality of Milan and for the Study Area, there is a signifi-cant presence of urban green areas and agricultural crops, while those present in the entire territory of Milan do not occupy significant areas. the amount of green in the Study Area is proportional to the amount of popula-tion that resides there.However, further analysis is needed to understand whether the green areas present are actually usable by citizens or if they only perform environmental functions.
