European Air Quality Index from European Environment Agency

European Air Quality Index

"How clean is the air you’re breathing right now? How does the air in your city compare with that of a neighbouring city or region? Air pollution is the single largest environmental health risk in Europe. The European Environment Agency's European Air Quality Index allows users to understand more about air quality where they live. Displaying up-to-the-minute data for the whole of Europe, users can gain new insights into the air quality of individual countries, regions and cities."

Cities Green Index Visualization

Green Index for Cities Around the World

The MIT Senseable City Lab off this new visualization tool, Treepedia, to examine tree canopies for cities around the world.

"Increasing a city’s tree canopy contributes to lowering urban temperatures by blocking shortwave radiation and increasing water evaporation. Creating more comfortable microclimates, trees also mitigate air pollution caused by everyday urban activities. Their absorptive root systems also help avoid floods during severe rains and storm surges. So overall, trees are pretty awesome." from website 11/1/17

Features include easy side by side comparison of the Green Index for major cities internationally.
