BBC: "The great myth of urban Britain"

Link to BBC web site

"What proportion of Britain do you reckon is built on? By that I mean covered by buildings, roads, car parks, railways, paths and so on - what people might call 'concreted over'. Go on - have a guess.

"I was prompted to find out the answer to this question after reading this week how woodland is now calculated to cover 12.7% of the UK, the highest proportion since 1924 when records began."
