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.
