The mapping agency has updated the Scottish green-space map, and brought in additional data for the rest of Great Britain. Ordnance Survey has created a comprehensive digital map of every green space in England, Scotland and Wales. The mapping agency has invited businesses and software developers to use its data to help create products and services that encourage greener and healthier lifestyles. The new map, which is available for download on the ONS website, shows how many hectares of land are covered by trees or other vegetation each year. OS has also created a public sector version of the map for use by government bodies to "improve planning, analysis and decision making”.
