So there it is, Glasgow is the second greenest city in Britain after Edinburgh with approximately a third of the city-space given over to green spaces. Notice how they had to include 'Greater' London in order to find any green at all...
I would actually go one farther and say that Glasgow is the greenest. After all, if you did enlarge the area to include 'Greater' Glasgow you would immediately start scooping up the great ranges of the Kilpatrick Hills, The Campsie Fells, and The Renfrewshire Moors which would increase the percentage remarkably.
Indeed, it would be interesting to map the same geographic area of Greater London here onto Glasgow and see how much extra there is beyond what they have represented here as Glasgow. And how much that percentile would increase from the stated 32%.
