Liège: left out of Article 8’s count
Liège / Luik
What the Nature Restoration Regulation counts in this commune, what changed since its 2024 base, and where to look in the atlas.
Article 8(1)
Over both lines: left out of the count
- Green in urban centres and clusters
- 46.0%1.0 points above the 45% line
- Tree canopy there
- 34.8%24.8 points above the 10% line
- Tree canopy per resident, whole commune
- 136m²
Its urban centres and clusters are 46.0% green and 34.8% tree canopy. A commune is left out of the national count only above 45% and 10%; Liège is. One of the other readings of Article 3(20) turns the verdict: see the table.
| Reading | Green | Canopy | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official reading | 46.0% | 34.8% | Exempt |
| Arable land counted as green | 48.0% | 34.8% | Exempt |
| Water not counted as green | 41.4% | 34.8% | Counted |
| Commune built from Statbel sectors | 46.1% | 34.7% | Exempt |
The zero measurement
In hectares, on the latest open data (2021)
| Urban ecosystem | Area | Green | Canopy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Urban centres and clusters | 6274 ha | 2889 ha · 46.0% | 2181 ha · 34.8% |
| The whole commune | 6889 ha | 3426 ha · 49.7% | 2667 ha · 38.7% |
The form of the Dutch national zero measurement (PBL, 25 August 2026), with both boundaries the Commission leaves to a country. The Woody Vegetation Layer 2021 is allowed for draft plans only; the 2024 layer is shared with national authorities, not published.
