Quantifying urban green space – from space
HUGSI.green is supporting the greening of global cities by providing objective and recurring quantification of vital green KPI’s for urban areas for hundreds of cities in more than 60 countries across the globe.
Green spaces are the lungs of cities. Improving air quality and helping to manage flooding and rainwater. Contributing to the physical and mental health of citizens. As urbanisation continues, it’s therefore vital to monitor the proportion between grey and green areas in and around cities.
Protect green areas and improve efficiency
By applying computer vision and deep learning techniques to satellite images, HUGSI gives insights about current state and historic development of vegetation and their surrounding environment in urban areas. This makes it possible to find out how green cities really are, and if densification is reducing the amount of urban green spaces.
