Overview

Supporting Public Administrations in developing cloud infrastructures using Space data for urban greenery monitoring

Background

Public Administrations (PA) play a vital role in urban green space management, ensuring the sustainability and health of parks, gardens, and other green areas. Effective monitoring and maintenance of urban greenery are essential for improving air quality, enhancing biodiversity, and promoting a healthier urban environment.

 

Service & Capabilities

Technology market research
Service design
Organisation & operations

Challenge

Managing urban green spaces presents several challenges, including inefficient monitoring methods, limited real-time data on plant health, and resource constraints for maintenance. Additionally, climate change and urbanisation increase the need for data-driven decision-making to optimise green infrastructure management.  

Technology

Web GIS
Satellite imagery
Solution

Approach:

A technology-driven approach is implemented, integrating GIS technology and satellite data to enhance urban green monitoring. Satellite imagery provides insights into vegetation health, while predictive maintenance models help optimise resource allocation for irrigation, pruning, and landscaping activities. 

Results

Results Achieved:

The initiative improves the efficiency of green space maintenance, enabling proactive interventions to preserve urban ecosystems. Urban green monitoring allows for quicker responses to plant diseases, water stress, and environmental hazards. Optimised maintenance schedules reduce costs and improve overall sustainability.
