Roughly 160,000 residential buildings in Cologne were modelled for what their windows look out on. The urban planning researcher Anna-Maria Bolte and colleagues then asked who lives behind them. Children and older people had slightly more green in view than the city average. Across the districts the green in a window runs from about a tenth of the view to nearly half.
