Description
Using Satellite Data to Monitor and Plan Urban Green Spaces
Due to climate change, heat waves are on the rise. This poses a new challenge for urban areas, which are particularly affected by unusually high temperatures. As recent studies show, one of the most effective measures to cool urban areas is the introduction of more greenery.
In cooperation with the cities of Essen, Bochum and Dortmund, Urban Green View will investigate how satellite data, in particular Earth observation data, can be used to monitor and plan urban green spaces in a more targeted manner in order to achieve the greatest cooling effect.
