Editing Reggio Calabria (section)

==Geography==
With an exceptionally high population density, Reggio Calabria was cited as having the least [[Open space reserve|green space]] in a study of 386 European cities. The study reported that green space coverage varied markedly, averaging 18.6 per cent and "ranging from 1.9 (Reggio di Calabria, Italy) to 46 ([[Ferrol, Spain|Ferrol]], Spain) per cent." The study further reported "Per capita green space provision varied by two orders of magnitude, from 3 to 4 m<sup>2</sup> per person in Cádiz, Fuenlabrada and Almería (Spain) and Reggio di Calabria (Italy) to more than 300 m<sup>2</sup> in [[Liège]] ([[Belgium]]), [[Oulu]] ([[Finland]]) and [[Valenciennes]] ([[France]])."<ref name="green_space_study">{{cite journal | pmc=2679924 | year=2009 | last1=Fuller | first1=R.

This includes the [[Aspromonte National Park]].

===Climate===
According to the [[Köppen climate classification]], Reggio Calabria possesses a typical [[Mediterranean climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Csa''). Its climate has warmer days and cooler nights than [[Messina]] which lies on the other side of the strait. Precipitation is another big difference since Messina receives approximately {{convert|300|mm|0|abbr=on}} more.
